Now, whether that original coloration is what we consider "normal" who can say?
In the end, I think she'd need to be proven out through breeding to find out if anything really genetic is going on. Regardless though, she's beautiful, and I'm thrilled that she's finally found herself in a good home!
I have never heard of anything like that. But due to the extremely poor condition I found her in, I would not be surprised if you are correct. I am amazed at her attitude after being through so much. She is so calm and friendly. Whether she proves to be a morph or a normal or even if she isn't breedable, she will definitely have a good home here. I will be sure to update the post in a few months and let everyone know how she is doing and if she has changed color at all. Thanks for everyone's input.

This looks almost exactly like the male I rescued last week :)
