this guy has 3 of these @6-8". i remember seeing 1 in a lfs labeled as "leaf cichlid" but i google searched it found a pic that almost looks the same but its was called a "chocolate cichlid".

then i searched chocolate cichlid and they look differant... what do you guys reckon ? also how much are they worth? (BPS - british pound sterling)

Well I can tell you at 6-8 inches and all brown that it isn't a chocolate cichlid. They are actually very colorful.

Looks like Pristolepis marginata to me. Commonly called the Indian Leaf Fish, Malabar Leaf Fish, or Catopra (family Nandidae). A google search of the latin name brings up images very similar to yours.
