SRT vs RT

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
That even sounds good to me Cam, Im not saying TAG is wrong, nor do I mind his advice, I was just not willing to budge on this one. I like the guy though. Normally when you get into a debate about beliefs something goes haywire. This one didnt, I have a lot of respect for the guy, animal that is. LOL

Still disagree. I have heard of King Kamfa aka King of Kamfa. LOL So Im not understanding what your saying. "Kamfa" is a strain, so is "Kinga Kamfa". Once again as I previously stated, Thai people dont even consider RT and FH in the same category so why would you follow the same guidelines. I have never heard of "Super" KML, and SRD is only speaking in reference to the depth of the red in the fish. Anywho it doesnt matter to me, Im putting my thoughts and the way I was taught out there. I understand what you mean about the way they classify fish, however "Super Red" is just that. There's no way to mistake it. There are too many pink and orange Texas to be called super red, so I classify them as just that. Super Red...

Well whatever this is not a arguement, I understand what your trying to say bro I really do, but Im sticking with my guns on this one. RT is the base fish, as long as the fish is "Super Red" In comparison to the majority of Orange and Pink I will continue to classify it as an SRT bro. Sorry.

Oh this is an arguement. Totally an arguement and dont you say it's not :nilly::ROFL::D
of course you would disagree bro. Because everyone got different thoughts and standards. And nothing in the crossbreed hobby is official.

And we know RTs arent FHs but the naming game is the same concept. FHs are mixed all over the place so each breeding gets a cool name.. RTS are mainly bred to be that one specific Carpinte with pearls and red base, big head is a plus. They are not FHs so that's why you should not add more names to them.

You know these crossbreeds need special care. I can take one of that SRT and turn it into a RT with bad care. And I can take a pale RT and turn it into a SRT with good care and potent color enhacer. Good care, artificial red light, a good view and a good camera shoot can get me a hot looking fish on camera. And those poor quality ones that wont improve are just poor quality RTs.

I dont like to write too much in my posts usually, but Im just trying to help you and others in understanding the name game of this hobby. Not intending to debate on a subject I feel is silly. If you dont agree, then you are also right in your own rights bro. I can see it your way and understand it too. Not that I don't. The extensive name game, I dont let my head drift into that area but I do understand it. Im not new to all this. A super red dragon is a red dragon. "super" is meaningless in the name to me. But it's just me. Just me. sRT, is and RT bro. That's why there's RT in sRT. :D

But i do agree that all those RTs posted by you, the op, are super.

It's all on you and the rest to feel however you want now. That's my input
 
Haha lol I totally agree with musha but see where animal guy is coming from and animal guy and I have had this discussion before.:)
Oh well when I go to Bangkok next week I will see for myself;)
 
I'd also like to point out that food goes a LONG way in regards to these fish's color.
That's one of the reasons its so iffy categorizing them, I think. You can take a good looking rt, and with the right person, make it look like a nice srt, and visa versa. Food and environment go a long way too, I'm just sayin'


Can we also look at the word "super", I mean come one....That's an adjective, not a technical name.
This SRT shown were extreme examples IMO also.
 
There is no such thing as an SRT.

They are all Red Texas. "SRT" is to sound cool only.

They always gonna sound extreme. "King, Lion, Tiger, Phoenix, Dragon, super, queen, ect." That's just how it is. But more important, it simply comes down to just the quality of the fish. "super" added to its name is just to fool the fools who think name really make the fish.

It's true a breeder can call their creations whatever they want to, but
We havent got the RTs(orange) to look red yet, how you gonna go call a orange fish "super red"? There is a Dream name, then there is Reality and common sense.

My RT was real true red. He's a real "Red texas". Because he's red. If He was bright bright red like in your face, big head, then he's high quality and well taken care of that's all.. Still a Red texas. "super" would be how ppl would describe my fish.

There's always gonna be one fish nicer than the other to ppl. There aRE LOTS OF SO CALLED SRTs of many many different qualities also. if we split andcategorized them, there would be craziness. But they all wanna be REd texas like my fish :)

for example: My Pitbull was so nice, but on his paper, he's Not a Super Pitbull. He's a pitbull. Nice in quality to my own opinion. Maybe not to others. But he's a pitbull. Super would be an opinion.

true. When I'm literally talking about my guy, I always just say red texas. On here I type SRT out of habit. But I get ya. That goes back to my whole "super is just an adjective" saying.

Yes..

How about we ask the RTs to get some red first before rushing to be called super red huh?


We all know Most of all the RTs in the world, only a small percentage are actually true red. Most are peach and orange only. Yet they are called Red texas. That's what they were suppose to try to be. Having a hard time getting red in the mean time, but already jumping to be Super red.
 
my view is very simple

true red (in normal light, not "red enhancing")= SRT
any other faded base color (orange, yellow,etc) = RT

all it is, is a way of classifying a high quality RT from the others. yes, they are all RTs, but the SRTs are high quality, showing TRUE red. anything else being called a SRT that isnt true red is a scam to lure in suckers that think the orange fish is better than it really is. the only reason they use the term "super" is because the name "true red texas" could cause confusion and so could "pure red texas"... so they chose to use the term super to set a really red RT from an orange or yellow RT...

this is just the way i look at it.. love it or hate it, its up to you, and i'm standing by these views...

GL to all! they're all awesome fish!
