Can somebody tell me what some of the abbrevations used around here are? like an XB arowana for example? RTC or something like that. I see all these abbrevations everywhere and don't have the slightest idea what people are talking about.
 
RTC = red tail cat

I know that one! But I know what you mean...I see those all over the posts, and have no clue either!!! LOL

JD=Jack Dempsey
Dat=Siamese Tiger Fish
ATF=African Tiger Fish
RTG=Red Tail Golden
FRT=Fly River Turtle
That is all I can think of right now.
 
thanks that helps some. i'm usually clueless to these threads unless i'm the one who posted it or if somebody is talking about a fish that i have.
 
SH = Snakehead
FH = Flowerhorn
RTC = Red Tail Catfish
TSN = Tiger Shovel Nose
RTG = Red Tail Golden Arowana or Red Tail Gourami (you'll have to read a bit to find out what the person is talking about)
XB or CB = Cross Back Golden Arowana
SR = Super Red
CR= Chili Red
P or Ps = Piranha/s
FRT = Fly River Turtle
AST = Alligator Snapping turtle
JG = Jin Gang (another type of FH)
RD = Red Devil
ATF = African Tiger Fish
JD= Jack Dempsey
DAT = Datniodes sp.
