I think the main problem is the drastic change some of them go through. I think as babies, they are extremely difficult to pass up, but as adults they seem to fall short.

I don't want you people to go "Does MY axanthic look browned out ?" because they vary. Not all of them keep their sweet silvery colors into adulthood. People don't seem to like that kind of change. I think the axanthic clown and the axanthic pied are the best axanthic combos aside from the AX pastel stuff .

Clowns are recessive, yet they are in high demand. The difference is that the clown can really mess with the pattern, leaving you guessing "what would this look like?". A clown combo can look NOTHING like a normal, no matter what age it is. Axanthic morphs as adults can look slightly different as adults, but most people probably wouldn't appreciate the subtle difference .
