    Which line of Axanthics?

    Can anyone tell me which line of Axanthics hold onto their grey coloration as the mature, and not brown out as much?

    thanks,

    Dave

    In general, VPI tends to be good, as is TSK. Jolliff is not as popular.

    In terms of popularity...

    VPI, TSK, Jolliff

    Nerd is somewhere in there, but as I recall it is compatible with one of the lines (I believe VPI) so therefore they are lumped together.

    I work with both VPI and TSK.

    VPI ! I think my girl that I purchased a few years back for $700 is staying with me for life. Not to mention I saved up like four paychecks just to buy her, she was worth every cent!

    I’m really not an Axanthic fan but from what I’ve heard and seen VPI's are supposed to be the best for holding their colour and TSK brown out very badly. at least all the TSK's I’ve seen are almost impossible to distinguish from normal’s by 8 months.

    We love the looks of axanthics and have debated adding it to our collection. However they don't stay black and white forever. Like stated above most end up looking like normals. VPI is probably the best for holding the color. Perhaps some of you guys that own some axanthics could post some pics of the different lines and at different ages.

    If you are just starting out with axanthics I would go with VPI's for sure. There are some nice examples of every line out there, but if you ever want to sell your hatchligs in the future VPI's are WAY more in demand than any other line.
