Is this normal (separation into layers, one of them brown)
Several years ago posters here were kind enough to help me get two sourdough starters up and running.
One Rye sourdough; the other KAF AP flour
For some time, though, after a few days (both when I stir and when I feed - which is usually weekly) the liquid in each container separates into two layers.
The top in each case is a watery brown. The thicker layers below (in both sourdough and All Purpose) are what looks like regular starter.
The two layers in each jar always easily combine again when I do stir them together.
But it somehow looks wrong. Photos of the sourdough

Grateful for any guidance about what I may be doing wrong, please :-)
TIA!
