split bands in Frontosa Gibberosa

Meaning the main thick black bars are split into 2 smaller bars? That would certainly be a non desirable trait like when they have "mooning" in the bars. Fish like that are culled by reputable breeders. Though with small fish that fronts are typically sold at it can be hard to tell how they will turn out and you klinda cross your fingers and hope to get those perfect bars. I know the guy I bought my colony from spent a few years and many different groups of fry to finally get the "perfect" group.
Unfortunetly it typically means imbreeding and bad genetics. Not sought after at all in the community and should be culled if planning on using as a breeding colony. Lol this is what i was told long long ago personally i think they look cool as hell. Unfortuinetly its truth it is cause of bad genetics.
I can't see any splitting, maybe the leftmost fish the second pic - that's what you mean by split bands?
The are very blue, and nice looking fish. Not a front fan, but are they Gibs because they are so blue? or is there some other distinguishing characteristic?
What?
