Auratus are moderately aggressive. The dominant male (the one that
turns dark first) will try to kill any other males but may tolerate
females. If you pack them in and have a few hiding places at the
surface you will have less problems. Make an island with rocks all the
way to the surface.



Hi Steve,

There must be almost 100 hidy holes at the moment, I will post a few pics.
When you say make an island, work from the centre of the aquarium up to the
top?
AT the moment, I have heavily loaded the entire back wall with Marble Rock,
Sand Stone and SHED LOADS of Lava Rock.

I will post a pic of feeding time, and as well as seeing the rockery, you
can help me identify the other fish too! (If you can be bothered)

Gary.
