Kind of a correlary to this topic: I have a small, very dark wildtype. I originally assumed it was melanoid because it had no eye-sheen. However, when it got bigger (it did not grow as fast as its siblings, and is still a 'runt'), I realized it doesn't have irises, and has tiny little pupils. They're very small, and do not appear to be functional.
There is no mention of the parents or any other offspring having the same problem. Genetics or development issues? Getting pictures of it is very hard, since it is so dark. I am almost certain that it is a wildtype now because it does have some gold sheen to the gillstalks. However, because it's so dark, maybe axanthism? What's the probability of this? And could the eye-issue be related to axanthism?
