I was given this beautiful baby cichlid a few day ago by a friend. She couldn't tell me what kind of cichlid it was, only that it was born in her tank and could not keep it. Anyway, I decided to adopt the little fella and was wondering if someone could help me identify him/her. I thought it might be a Julidochromis Ornatus. Also any other information as far as how big he'll get and so on would be appreciated.
Thanks

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME?!?!?!?

hehe... it's an auratus. Be careful, they turn into big meanie heads when they get older.
 
Thanks a lot forum friends, you guys & gals are great. I guess I'll have to get rid of him when he grows up a bit. Right now he shows no aggression towards my 2 corys, 2 dwarf gouramis, and my betta. But from what Auratus tells me this will change. Also I don't think my 20 gallon tank will suit him well, too small.
