All we can do is have fun with the "what if'ing" for now and see what plays out in the future right?



I totally agree with the theory of layers of red and yellow coloring together creating what we see as one final color, but considering that what you have has the potential anyways to create a yellow animal, where the sharp line doesn't, I still think that leaves room for yours to be anerys and sharp line to be axanthic. What if the natural "red" base color is actually closer to a brownish red color of sharp line anerys, but without the yellow added in it keeps them from being brighter colored animals?



I also wonder now too, if the really brighter orange colored normal brb's in reality aren't actually higher yellow animals if you could strip off the red and look at them. I really think its fascinating, and wonder about why some of yours may turn out yellow and some not, if it's just natural variability, or something else coming into play also.



I guess there's also the issue that even if my idea of having anerys and axanthics crossed together, if adults still color up, if we still simply don't have a genetic mutation yet at the right spot to block color development as it ages.



Fun to think about anyways, thanks for kicking in your thoughts on it!
