New nem from existing nem

[Charley75]

So my nems split all the time and I usually sell them. One of them recently split again, but the new nem looks TOTALLY different from the “parent”. How is that possible.

The “parent” is an acid rain BTA. Looks kinda like a rainbow, but with white flecks/streaks.

Rainbows will do this at times, as in the split looks a bit different. But as it grows it will end up coloring up more. Have seen it with the 23 rainbows I once had. Haha. Almost as if it needs a good dose of zooxanthellae.
