Wow. I've seen a lot of pictures of them, and they seem have a lot of variation in their coloration. Neat. This is bumping them up the list of which fish to get! ;)

Didn't get any nice chocolate shots unfortunately, but they do indeed vary in colour a lot, mine likes being green, most like being copper/brown borderline red.
 
Here's a crappy pic of mine. This light color is unusual for him; he's usually much darker and shows more green.
 
I currently have a small one, hes very peaceful but loves live food, he doesnt bother any other of my cichlids, mainly because he's the second smallest but i've always found them to be rather placid and have the most brilliant green colouration
 
Mine chases/harasses everybody except the uaru...the uaru is bigger and harasses the chocolate. He doesn't really do damage to anyone except the oscar; the O doesn't run so the choc bites him but he's catching up to the chocolate size-wise...if I don't get the choc sold the O is going to turn on him soon.
