hey RD. You think your some kind of big tymer. But I've seeen you here for so long and all you do is act like you've seen it all and nothing's good enough for you. RD. is a phony. Post your fish. Prove it RD.The animal guy, not only did I own one, I owned a pair. Imported from Singapore by an associate of mine who owned a LFS in Vancouver, and sent to me as a birthday gift. Use the search feature, to my knowledge one of the largest male RT ever posted on MFK.
Do I need to reach out to MFK members who have been to my home, and seen my fish in person? Because I can ..... lol
This male was 11-12" in TL when that pic was taken.

RT, SRT, whatever, there is no definitive definition of the term/terms. Most people that use the term SRT are only fooling themselves, the vast majority shown on MFK are RT. Nothing "super" about them, including the ones shown in this discussion. Go to Thailand and view some SRT in person, then you can appreciate what super means. Color/pearls/shape/size, all dictate what is super, and what isn't. But I guess people can call their fish whatever they want.
As far as the OP's fish, it's a hybrid of unknown origin, and having said that RT fits just as well as FH.
I could post pics of my last RT, he was nicer than most that one will see on MFK, and a solid 11" male, but still not what most in the know would define as super. But really, who cares? If you are happy with your fish call it whatever you feel like.
RD. You're entitled to your own opinion.Do I need to reach out to MFK members who have been to my home, and seen my fish in person? Because I can ..... lol

I actually see SRT's from time to time but it is rare and they are incredibly expensive. I was actually of the mind that SRT was coined because of people started using RT to represent lower quality fish. I could of course be wrong as it's something I more or less based solely on my opinion and what I considered logical deduction.Yes, all very true, with one very big caveat, the fish that you just showed pics of, Kolt, are SRT, what most would consider masterpiece specimens, worth their weight in gold and never seen here in North America.
In comparison, RT, such as some of the examples shown in this thread, are fairly common. RT's with orange base (not red), are very common, and priced accordingly.
