Thanks! She looks even better in person. I might just try her with a normal male to see what happens. I'll be sure to post pictures of her offspring.

If you get more silvers and some are males the offspring take a bit on the Florida fancies to color up. They don't have the breast bar so you can't tell early on like you can with other mutations whether it is male or female.
