You base your terms on your animals, the two. And that is wrong. Your animals are suppose to fit the terms, not fit the terms to the animals, which is what your fighting against with others calling them annerys.



Actually, you are incorrect here. I've never tried to fit the terms based on my animals, I merely used my animals as examples based on the definitions that I've read. You'd know this if you carefully read all of the links I gave, especially this link where I refer the definition based on a book on morphs: RE: Anery Question #1



I'm also basing my claims on all of the other Axanthics that I've seen and testimony from other people's collections which all fit the definition of Axanthism, not Anerythrism.



You are also right, most axanthics, are annery as well, but not all. So those two genes can be linked genetically or not.



Actually, this is a totally incorrect statement. In Bechtel's book, all Anerythristics are Axanthic but not all Axanthics are Anerythristic.



Also, you keep abbreviating Anery as Annery with 2 N's, it's only 1 N.



Anery is lacking red



Correct.



Axanthic is lacking yellow, right?



Partially correct. Axanthism will lack yellow but can also lack red as well.



Those terms mean the total genetic lack of. Not less then(normal I presume)



Correct. It's a genetic mutation/defect in which the animal cannot reproduce commonly found color traits. Less than or more than would by traits using the terms Hypo- or Hyper- respectively.



it appears the common approach is to name something like anery or axanthic, after someones line bred animals.



Wrong. Axanthism is a proven recessive trait by both Brian Barczyk and Vin Russo independently. I purchased my female from Barczyk and my male from Jeff Nemanius.



No red or yellow= anery/axanthic. Yes?



Wrong. If it's lacking both red AND yellow pigmentation that normally appear, it's Axanthic.
