Smile newbie to bearded dragons, some ?s

Hi everyone ,
This is my first time posting in this forum, I have seen bearded dragons on the classifieds time and time again and although I thought they were absolutely adorable lizards I never did much research on them as I mostly keep snakes. I hear so many stories of what wonderful pets they make, I would like to get some in the future, but for now I want to be well informed on my possible future pet(s). So if you'll bare with me, I have some questions, some are pretty silly but I wanted to ask anyway.

My main questions surround colouring, I read that unlike snakes, their colouring is not a definite thing (genetic wise). Some animals are nicer than others but you don't know til they are a little older and that the brightest coloured specimens are highly inbred and that I should avoid them as they usually have health problems. I read of corals, pastels, reds, oranges, golds, sandfires, tigers, hypos, yellows, snows, leucistics, bloods and more I'm sure I can't think of at the moment.
How many morphs are there?
Any link to sites on how to tell them apart?
Or does anyone have descriptions for the different morphs?
(Except for the white ones, or bright orange ones, they pretty much look alike to me lol)

It's an odd question but I've never seen a bearded dragon in person before, do they flick their tongue when investigating their environment like an iguana?

Another behavior question, I have plenty of experience with green iguanas, and their (in my experience) potential aggressive behavior, how are bearded dragons aggression wise?
Do they get grouchy in the breeding season like iguanas?
(I am accustomed to dealing with crocodilian aggression and snake aggression, but lizard aggression I have minimal experience with lol.)

Sorry for all the questions, hope to get some informative responses.
