3rd litter born today- 25 big healthy babies

Your thinking on proving out the xx seems fine to me. Essentially, and all axanthic litter would prove that both xx and xn produce visual axanthic. If 50% of the litter are axanthic your hypothesis is plausible. Unlike something like fruit flies you need to wait a couple of years to confirm your hypothesis.

These guys are getting bigger now and I now have 3 piles of distinct colors.
3 are dark axanthics (more blue, but definately not anerythristics)
9 lighter axanthics (more blue green, with lime green dorsals)
13 normals with brown sides and yellow orange dorsals

Originally I thought I had 12 axanthics and 13 normals. Not sure what this means. I am going to try to run some different possible punnett squares, but would be interested to hear other theories. Just a reminder, the female mom was visually a normal but daughter to axanthic, and the male dad was a visual axanthic (nice blue and black color)
