Heres the deal, I never believe anything I read here, I consider it, but believe, no. So what you say is pretty much meaningless. And you can say anything you like.

Also, again your want to be exacting. Yet, you again make assumptions. How do you know if these were out crosses or not. They are TWO founder parents. I have no idea if they are related or not.

The point is again, I did indeed produce three Mexican axanthics. What the genetics turns out to be will be whatever it is. That is not important to me. I produced them from two founder animals(from nature) This is not deli cup genetics, its natural to this point. And these axanthics are natural occurring phenotypes.

Next year, I will most likely breed this female to a different founder. And also include two more founder pairs of axanthics.

So what they are, will be revealed in the future.

That said, you know as well as I, that producing three neonate axanthics from two axanthic parents indicates they are most likely recessives, as the percentage of axanthics in that population is very very small.

Are you like nasty, in this case yes. You like him, posted only to lessen others achievements. Calling me a lair, for what? I produced what I said I was going to produce. Got proof of that sir. I also agreed with nasicus that more work will be done. I am not quitting today. Whether or not they are recessive will indeed be proved out by me and others that I gift neonates too.

All in all, it would be stupid of me to outcross for hets, when I have pairs of axanthics. I would think only an idiot would do that right off. of course that will come later. With a possible recessive, you outcross because you have too.

Its rare that founder morphs can be started with pairs, but it does occur, Albino Sonoran gophers were started by two albinos, a sexual pair, found at the exact same site, on successive years. Cheers
