Melanochromis Auratus

[Whitey]

Could i add 'elanochromis auratus' to the fish i currently have? (Sig.)

I have found mine to give the plecos hell. They have beat the two plecos i have put in my tank to death.. I dont see a problem with any of the others.

Hmm yeah i see that could be a problem, thanks for the post. Any one else?

Why flirt with danger?

Auratus are killers, they go for the belly and eviscerate the weak.

lord I hope I spelled that right LOLOL

So if i removed my plec its possible to have a good relationship (as far good mbuna relationships go) with my current stock.

And is it best to keep in pairs or more females and 1 male?

I would not put an auratus in your tank full stop. They are best kept in a species only tank or with other highly aggressive Mbuna, not Haps. Just not worth the risk.
