Axanthic Lines?

[Mischke]

Okay, I’ve been doing research on the axanthics and there seems there are three lines: Jolliff, TSK & VPI. They are all simple recessive, but are they compatible with each other?

Also what are the particular pros & cons of each line? And which one do you prefer?

[Kryptonian]

As far as I know the vpi line stays the most grey colored, least likely to brown out. Thats why I prefer them and I am looking for one. I would be interested to see pics of adults from all three lines. I too would be curious to know if the lines are compatable.

I voted no preference based on not knowing the particular lines. I do however like what axanthic can do to other morphs so they all rock!

I think their are great examples of both VPI and TSK and poor examples of each. I think if you are picky about the animal you get you will end up with a great example of an axanthic regardless of line.

Just as an example of an adult:

She's a beauty if I ever saw one

As far as compatability is concerned, I would stick with one line. I know for a fact that VPI and Joliff are not compatible. I've heard that VPI and SK are not compatible either. As for Joliff and SK, I have not heard of much documentation or attempts at this breeding, however, I would imagine that they aren't.

Also, from time to time, you may also here about D&M line Axanthics (which I don't think they were ever tested for compatability), and you will also hear about NERD line Axanthics (which are compatible with VPI line, so I'm told).

Hope that helps a bit.

I am working with and prefer VPI line. My axanthics are coming out of my snow project which from all the snows I've seen are by far the best out there. Most will agree VPI snows are better.

Corey Woods has his line of Red Axanthics, and Mark Mandic just got the first Axanthic Pied out with an unknown female.
What a way to find out you are working with the axanthic gene.. can we say horseshoes???
Not sure on compatability tho

Red Axanthics are a co-dominant mutation, these other lines are recessive.

Zero compatibility.

A red would be used for a combo morph.

Hmmm, ok what about the RMJ line? Just asking.
