Alturas?

they look like arutus to me, and male at that, make sure to watch these guys if there in with other fish, they are highly aggressive even for mbuna

very aggressive, keep a close eye on your tank

 

[Calaustria]

Yeah, after another look they do look like auratus. I didn't look at the stripes on their heads.

Yep, they look like adult male Melanochromis auratus.

unless you have a big tank, you will end up with one male
