I have been thinking about doing this for awhile now for educational purposes. I dont know why, but when people call RT's, SRT's it bothers me a bit. I REALLY HAVE NO CLUE WHY, but because it does I just want to clear up a few things. SRT vs RT mostly rely on COLOR!!! I hope this helps.... Normally SRT are all around better fish also.

correction on your post.....

Red Texas (RT) are those texas that have some (SRT) bloodline. Either cross from parrot x texas, srt x rt and so forth. Basically these had not faded and still have blue color without no orange or red. 50/50 chance of fading and sometime dont fade at all.

As for Super Red Texas (SRT) are for all those that have orange, red, and anything beside blue. These are fading or fully faded.

Good example are Dragon Ball Z cartoon:

Sayan has black hair
Super Sayan is gold :)
 
I would like to add: there's no such thing as srt. It's either faded or not, nice or not. RT that's it.

He say she say had led you guys to confusion. "super" is used in the market for sales on those ignorant ones who get attracted to names too much. Or it can be applied to a fish by its owner to make the fish sound special.

RT is the fish. Super is a nice way to describe what you feel about it. Those so called srts you posted Musha are super nice RTs or srts as a second name. They are high quality. "RT" is the foundation of the name. SRT is a second name for one that a person think is super nice. They can be called srt to sound cool but they are rts.
 
My fish is an RT. But some call it srt including the seller. So what? It is what it's suppose to be. And thanks for calling him super.
Some other ppls fish look so poor and their fish are called srt, even by their sellers. So what? You guys dont wanna be in that mess because that's just an opinion. Like those srts posted above. and I agree they are super. And those are the RTs that represent the fish.. All the faded ones are suppose to be RTs. More or less, lil better, much better, whatever you feel about that red texas. It's Red texas. Some poor quality, some high quality.

but I do wish ppl do categorize them like you did Musha. That way I see what I expect. But they dont! So "Super" doesnt matter. it's only an opinion.
