I found some pics of males with a darker purple on cichlid-forum, but still not really the camo body coloration. The closest I found was a pic of an Ikola sunspot with dark markings but mine do not have the " sunspot " coloration. My guess is he's just an exceptionally dark Brevis. Good enough for me.

Yeah I think that's the same impression my Cylindricus got when he decided to challenge him yesterday. The Cylindricus can open it's mouth amazingly wide, but the Brevis has him beat in the aggression department. The Cylly decided to cruise over and was immediately assaulted until he left the vicinity. They'll be pals over beers later :)

Okay, my LFS got in 4 more adults yesterday. They're the regular strain; I'm hoping I'll see my original female now. Looked like 1 male and 3 females. Gives me a ratio of 2 males - 4 females. I'd like to have one more female, have to see what comes in next week.

I'll get some photos for sure. Right now there's just an empty shell field being constantly checked over by by the rest of the stock. I'm sure it will be a few days before I see any of them.
