>>So, what would be the problem with making hets with some nice WC animals from the same area?
that is kind of what i was getting to. as it is not a unique axanthic gene but nice llemke animals outbred to a nice line of locale brooksi producing cleaner adults through generations of selective breeding.
i guess anyone really wanting to develop the axanthic gene further could do their own outbreeding for selected traits and market it as such. especially with good lineage documentation.
for example someone could breed the n.e. axanthic to a bone white hypo, breed the hets back into the axanthic line. eventually no one would be able to tell the difference between a bone white axanthic 0.0000125% possible het hypo and a bone white ghost.
i noticed someone compared the nice looking male posted earlier to a ghost. back when i was breeding ghosts and a n.e. axanthic pic came up on this forum, someone asked me what's the difference between the two, and why would they buy a ghost when they could have that for less? can't remember what i said but it was like "d'oh!"
sorry for the jump off the road into the ditch. the n.e. axanthic line is tremendous. i am glad some still exist, i hope the line keeps going.
peace
