It's beautiful, but what do the letters stand for?

Very, very cool, Gemmy bird :) Hope it thrives and procreates in your tank. Bulb tips that color are in very high demand.

My parents have one with a 4" foot in there 55g. It is hosted by a gold striped maroon clown. You will love it but man they are constantly moving around.

Very nice! If only I had MH lighting, and a large enough aquarium... *dreams off into space*

You don't need MH lighting for a RBTA Tigerbarb.

No, 6 WPG is enough. My parents run 4 WPG and use natural sunlight.

Hi ya Dave. Yes, this is a very nice and vibrant specimen. The guy that gave him to me is farming them. He's got quite the set up in his garage. So far all he's got are RBTA just like this one, but he's setting up two more 400 gal tank/tubs. His system is very impressive!

He's not quite opened up all the way yet...it took my a couple hours to convince it to hang on to the rock instead of falling off and bobbing around. He finally did and then moved a bit lower. Took a silverside this afternoon....so I know he's ok.
Anyway....here's a pic from today.
