i was just wondering if anyone is working on crossing the het red axanthic into other lines such as VIP joliff or tsk? im wondering if it would clean them up and help prevent them from browning out or if it would do the opposite and brown them out even worse?
all thoughts are appreciated

Hey adam,
The het red axanthic and axanthic are not the same gene. If you bred a het red to an axanthic you would get normals and het red (het red being the co-dom of the super form red axanthic) that are 100% het for whichever line of Axanthic you used

I think he understands this. His question I believe is what do you speculate the double combo axanthic red axanthic would look like, and would mixing of the two make them retain the silver color going into adult hood.

I dont believe that the HRA will help in the axanthic line but actually cause more browning as the RA/HRA's do as the get older. They start off rather dark but as they age they blush more and the red tint is more prominent. Since it is a gene that brings out the reds/browns it will make it worse in my opinion. Hope this helps
