Golden Rhomboidalis Question

[gsiegel]

I have seen these pop up on DD with seemingly muted colors but the photo on LA is stunning (see attached).

I have not seen one like the photo in person - please explain the difference to me and what I should look for to get something like the one on the photo as opposed to the much colorful one I seem to see when they are offered for sale.

Gracias.

the one in the photo is a supermale. they are not that common but are spectacular and usually very expensive. regular males will turn to that coloration eventually even without a female. i have kept many rhomboids over the years.
