paradox axanthic

[sk8er4life]

i was wondering if these were proven out yet or not cuz i wud be interested in mixing these w/albinos and see what wud come out of that mix?

[Adam_Wysocki]

No, they are not proven.

What would be the point of mixing them with an albino? To me, the idea is actually counterintuitive.

I got to see a paradox axanthic recently and it was interesting to look at.

Hard to say what genetics might be at work in the paradox versions of axanthic and albino. Could there be a "paradox" gene that could turn a "normal" axanthic or albino into the paradox version? If so, maybe crossing a paradox axanthic into an albino line would eventually produce a paradox albino or even a paradox snow.

Another angle I'm very interested in is finding out if any of these paradox for recessive morph balls has been proven to be homozygous for it's respective morph yet. Perhaps the paradox axanthic is only het axanthic and the paradox albino is only albino het and in each case for some reason the normally recessive gene ends up expressing it's self in some areas. Just a theory to try on until someone comes forward with breeding data to disprove or support it. I've not yet heard of a paradox albino where the parentage excluded the possibility that it might be a het albino (i.e. where both parents where homozygous albino) or of a paradox being bred to an albino and proving that the paradox was homozygous albino but we are still early in the game and not lots of such data gets published if it even exists.
