The odds of a single mutation occurring are staggering. To have multiple axanthic lines show up is such a short time period, shortly after the UK line was introduced, is not necessarily a coincidence. The gene is recessive and so Hets were likely distributed before the hobby knew what they were. This is most likely why the different lines of this trait appear to be compatable. There were three lines that all appeared within a short time frame, with many since… they are AE, MSL, and Obscurial. We must state that the MSL line has an originating animal that may go back much further than any other documented het axanthic . Eddie Shelton mentioned that it traces back 15 years. Some slight differences have been noted with each line… some having slight yellowish or red coloration. If you look at other axanthic species you will notice that not all xanthophores are eliminated and some subtle coloration may sometimes remain
