Heres a picture of him and my son, he was staring at him for awhile it was so cute, i had to take a picture!

He just seems soo light I thought maybe splash or somthing blues are beautiful though

Do you know what color the parents were?
I'm still leaning towards silver, looks too light to be a blue

 

[bearfeet3]

hmm...no I dont, the guy I got the eggs from had all colors though...i tried looking up silver swedish and didnt get much, can you maybe post a picture?

Since blues dont bred true, the offspring can be a mixture of coloring.
A silver swedish is just a light blue swedish.
A true blue swedish is suppose to be very dark blue.
