howlsn Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 This RT is the last of what I got from Nick to sprout & mature, still got growing to do but I'm already very fond of him. This guy is still growing a lot of finnage & couldn't get him to flare today but will keep tryng for a better pic in full flare. Have 2 stunning Metallic Teal BF's also that when I get good pics I will post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Gorgeous! :) Oh, can I hazard a guess and say that the lace male is metallic royal blue, while the second male is metallic steel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howlsn Posted November 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Thats what I think (I am still learning ) but the 2 BF's & 4 females from this spawn there is a distinct difference, some carrying the Royal Blue & others the Steel Blue.

Tuataress Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Hey wonderful looking fish! Ok I guess I should know by now, what is RT and what is BF????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howlsn Posted November 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 RT is Rosetail & BF is Butterfly :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I don't know if RT is an official abbreviation for rosetail. But yeah, people have been using it here for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I think it was first used for Round Tails, and now it's been adopted for Rose Tails. I'll do some asking around and then post in the Abbreviations thread. Maybe we should call Rose tails RST to differentiate from round tails?

splendidbetta Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 VP uses RT for Rose tail, while everyone else recognises RT as Roundtail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howlsn Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Yep RST is better suited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howlsn Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Some more metallic teals I have. Couldn't get them to full flare. Teal BF #1. I like this guy other than the BF pattern isn't ideal. Teal BF #2. This guy isn't as mature yet & a lot lighter coloured but has a better BF pattern. & one of the girls.

I took a scoop of Juvies & I am so pleased I did they are just wonderful fish & will be used in creating my own line. I am about to spawn the 1st BF & the girl.
