Will,
Don't get me wrong here. I do understand what Troy is saying and where his argument is in this. Troys knowledge is much deeper than you guys believe. Troys argument is that being that numerous axanthics have been pulled from the wild, this means that the trait has already been proven in nature. It is obviously an endemic color variety at this point. How it is being passed in nature is unimportant. The fact is, it is not a one off mutation. And I happen to agree with this way of thinking.

Maybe a better way to say it is Frank has shown the trait is inheritable.

I don't think that trying to discredit Troy is the right thing to do. Troy and I are very close and talk almost everyday. He has a broad knowledge base and is one of the most intelligent people I know. I can not sit here and allow you guys to attack him or his character.
