Nice RT, good on you for giving him a better home.
As far as RT or SRT, gotta agree with Musha, I would not consider this fish a SRT.
A fish that looks like a regular tex, is just that .... a regular tex, that is simply carrying the RT gene. Using RT to describe these fish is exactly how all of the sketchy looking so called RT's have sprung up over the past few years.
An RT is a texas hybrid that has peeled/faded into a base color of red, orange, or pink. A SRT is an RT with a base color of deep red, with even pearling throughout, hence the term "super". Of course when grading what amounts to a shade or grade of color there will be crossovers, but IMO anything that is lacking a vibrant red colored base, is an RT, not a SRT.
When dealing with hybrids people tend to describe fish to whatever suits their own personal standards. Personally I don't see anything "super" about a light orange or pink texas hybrid. Nice fish, yes (I've owned some nice RT's as well) but super, not IMO.
