Ok, here we go. A paradox snow consists of two mutations, albino paradox and axanthic (commonly called anery). A snow also consists of two mutations, albino and axanthic. To my knowledge, there is only one strain of axanthic. So, breeding a snow to a snow paradox would result in the entire litter being axanthic het for albino and het albino paradox. I have never tried this nor do I have any interest in doing so. But this does raise another question. To make things a little simpler, lets say you breed an albino to an albino paradox to produce double hets. What would be the results of breeding the offspring together? We know that, statistically, out of 16 young, 9 will be possible het for both mutations, 3 will be visual albinos and 3 will be visual albino paradox. But what about that last one? The one that has both visual mutations? Will the black spots of the paradox be visible? Will they be faded? Will they be missing all together? Or will it look completely different than what anyone could of ever predicted? For all we know this could be the recipe for the first leucistic (though, I highly doubt it). I am not aware of anyone trying to breed double hets together. If anyone has any knowledge of this being done, please post.
