One of my babies looks to be an interesting colour. Does anyone know the difference?

Piebald is like a leucistic but with black spots all over its body (not just head and top of back like a marked leucistic). Harlequin is three colours: Black white and gold.

Yours looks like it could possible be chimera though: half white half black/wild type colouring.

Chimera are super rare, so pretty amazing if you've managed to breed one!!
 
I see thank you for the help! I'm so excited about this one. Hopefully it survives! It's been swimming upside down for the past 3 weeks but it's showing signs of growth and everything looks fine. Hopefully I can rear this one to adult :)
