by the way, I've been wanting to ask ... are u Dan10's brother ?
i'm surprised you remember! in fact, I'm Dan10 on the younger bro's a/c. the little tweep posts in guppytalk and cichlidtalk, while i share his a/c in arotalk and the freshwater forum. it has been almost that way since the last (and only) time we met and I asked you if having 2 a/c for 2 different people on a single IP address could be considered multi-nicking...

anyway, from my observation, the xanthic process in the panda Xanthics does not seem to be complete, hence I guess that accounts for the specks of irids on the scales in semi-adult/adult specimens.

Cheerios!

PS.. BTW I think i saw you at IP couple of days back, but ain't sure if it's you. Have you put on weight?

leucistic basically means "White" ,
the phenotype is d/d, non-melanoid, non-albino and non-axanthic
While d/d prevents the pigment cells from migrating off the top of the animal, this does not necessarily mean that all leucistics will possess colour cells on the the head and back .

They are usually white with black eyes

RTG? Must have been more than 4years back if it's the same ugly RTG...

More than once? Hmmm the weird doc did something to me back then and washed off a bit of my memory, do pardon me.

Geez, would have said Hi if I knew you put on weight!

Errm, I do not know if the term iridophore is the right word to use here, but I wanted to say, the panda Xanthics do possess specks of what should be the normal coloration and shine on the scales, which are iridescent in nature.

Hence my speculation that they might be Xanthics that are not 100% complete.



Kinda messy... anyway the chromatophore table may be found here >

Here's an extract from a forgotten webby:

Chromatophore Pigment Type Colors

Melanophore Melanins Color Black, Brown

Xanthophore Pteridines Color Red, Orange
and Carotenoids

Erythrophore Pteridines Color Orange, Yellow
and Carotenoids

Iridophore Guanine Reflective White, Silver, Blue, Others
and other Purines
the RTG is ugly to you ? standards damn high ...

anyway, wat u r offering is the idea tat there is an abundance of yellow pigmentation in this kind of aro ... ie they shd actually be called xanthic instead of axanthic ... but these aros look to me as being albino, as being in a variation of albinism ie a lack of certain pigmentation rather than having an abundance of just the yellow pigmentation. The idea is worth exploring though. You may just be right. Platinum arowanas is the result of this over abundance of iridophores pigment

I hope Simon and Kenny can give some inputs when they see this ...
