^ Yep, I can relate. My discus can be really beautiful and flashy (which is most days) or be dull and almost black on others. Just depends on conditions and mood. I had a baby Oscar for a little while, and that thing changed colors like a chameleon the entire time I had it. Some days, it would be dominantly olive green; others, it would be a radiant orange. Personally, I think Oscars change colors more than other fish. I know there are other fish that are like that, but I think that Oscars are just little chameleons.
My other fish (except the blue Discus) hardly change colors; they tend to stay the same color daily with occasional changes (especially during water changes; I think they freak out and change colors).
