Other than genetics

they display some distictive characteristics(sp?)
Bells have a more "normal" look to them and their eyes are pink

Trempers dont usually have many spots and they somtimes keep their back bands, their eyes darken with age, and become more silverish

Rainwaters are lighter, and have more silver/yellowish eyes
they also have a "messy" look to them sometimes

im not 100% sure on this

Everyone's always told me that Rainwaters & Bells are the same thing.. They were originally called Rainwaters, but then Tim Rainwater (the "creator" got into a bunch of hooly wog & got a bad rep, so they were renamed Bells so people would keep buying them.

Bells are so much different from rainwaters. Rainwaters are called Las Vegas, but not bell.

But, I didn't say that I was correct so calm down boyee That's just what I remembered.

Rainwaters where re-named las vegas albinos because that is where they where first "discovered"

Bells have always been bells
