I have two male firemouths who are reaching their mature colors. They are getting darker and more colorful. However, one has green eyes, while the other has golden yellow. The firemouths I have kept before have all had green eyes. Is this normal? Is he just a doppelganger?

Also, I just lost one of my baby jurupari. He seemed pretty good this morning, and his brother is doing fine. They are in a clean growout tank with great water conditions. When I found him, he was stiff with his mouth fixed open like he was screaming. What do you think he died of?
 
by the way, the yellow eye is acting perfectly normal, and looks even cooler than the green eye.
