Only line of animals that I know of that have a higher appearance of xanthin are Davey Pastels (appears half of each litter is born with the yellow appearance, while the other half seem to have a bluish coloration) Arabesques tend to have a higher concentration of yellow as well, and a few people are trying to refine that for their albino and sunglow arab projects.

I have heard of some whos salmons throw high yellow offspring. I have a theory that salmons are not only hypomelanin, but hyperxanthin also. Anybody have thoughts on that?
