Hello, I purchased this as a rainbow bta about 6 months ago. Cute little guy, opened up to about 4" and had nice bubbles. During the last month or so, it started opening between 6" and 10", bubbles were/are up to 1/2" in diameter. Absolutely beautiful, don't really care if it's a named variety, but interested none the less.
I've attached two photos, one under white light opened up big, one under blue it split the day after I took the white photo.
I know the pictures aren't great, just used my phone, but thoughts are welcome as to what it might be.
Thank you,
Reverend Turtle
