This is not a true picture of our fish Yellow. But it is as close as I could get. I hope to have His REAL picture up soon. |
AKA: | Electric Yellow Auratus |
Well I guess you can figure out where he got his name. But I am sad to say he is nolonger yellow. I now have a black/blue fish named Yellow. That will through everyone off. (LOL) Believe them when they say you can't tell the diference untill they get to about 3in. I think That is when he started to turned colors. He got kind of dark orange and then just kept getting darker. At one point he was an ugly blah brown color. |
The Auratus is territoral, and very agressive. They like many rocky caves and other hiding places to establish territories. They can get up to 10cm or 4" in size. the females are smaller. The Auratus is an omnivores, so they enjoy flakes, small fish, worms, and pellets. The male Auratus is larger, and his color is black with light blue or white stripes. While the females and jouvinile males are yellow, with black stripes edged in white. As shown in these pic. |
