Breeding different lines???

[wildlifewarrior]

I understand that with axanthics they can't be bred with axanthics from different breeding lines and expected to be axanthic. Is this correct? if it is, is it the same situation for any other morphs?

Yes it is true. None have proved to be compatible with other lines. All I know of now is Axanthics and (I think) Snows.

So far as I know, Axanthic is the only common morph that has multiple distinct lines that are not compatible. The "snow" morph is merely a DH Axanthic/Albino...so again, it would have to be the same Axanthic line to create the combo.


The only other one that comes to mind that I'm aware of is the Enchi Pastel may not be compatible with the other pastel lines. But I'm really not sure if anyone has tried or not. I haven't followed the Enchi story very closely.

There are lines of co-dom hypos that aren't compatible with recessive hypos ... and there are a couple of very rare recessive hypo lines that are not compatible with regular hypos ... but for the most part, hypos are like pastels when it comes to compatibility.

Axanthics are at the other end of the spectrum ... none of the lines are compatible so far ... and may never be.

It's looking more and more like all of the caramel lines are compatible, but not all have been tried yet.

That's just a quick shot off the top of my head.

Thanks for the info everybody . It is wierd that axanths aren't compatable, which would suggest that they are on different genes/chromosomes, right? or has that not been looked into yet?

You guys know of any sort of DNA sequencing or chromosome work being done to look into this??
