chrisfowler99 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Same here. The color is amazing under actinics (turned the MH off to get it adjust to the lighting) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Eckreef Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 You both are very welcome! It was a pleasure to meet you both. Mine is very happy as well. Already starting to bubble up after an hour in the tank. These things have an amazing fluorescent red coloration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Eckreef Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 If anyone else is interested in the Sherman variant RBTA then I highly recommend Mickey. Really nice guy and quality product. He has been raising them for 7 years and probably has over 30 in his 2 tanks (125 and 75g) He is located in Granbury, TX and can be reached via the DFWMAS.com site...Mickeyw43 He doesn't ship so you would have to go pick them up...2.5 hr drive from Round Rock but well worth it for me as this was exactly what I was looking for.

chrisfowler99 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Mine's attached and bubbling a bit. Wonder where it's going to end up moving to. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Now I am kind of kicking myself for not hopping on the band wagon and snagging one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Now I am kind of kicking myself for not hopping on the band wagon and snagging one. I'm sure he'll be happy to sell you one when you are ready and I bet people would jump on with you! Depending on timing, I might be willing to work out some filming up there and swing by on the way back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Eckreef took some pictures of the tanks up there. Freaking amazing number of RBTAs in two tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Eckreef Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Here are a couple of photos of Mickey's tanks. He has 4 different groupings like this of RBTA in his 125 and 75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Eckreef Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Mine appears to be very happy and staying put for the moment. Has already downed a half a silverside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I may need to pick up some silversides tomorrow. I've got some krill, but I'll start off with what it was being fed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Eckreef Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Mickey fed them silversides and mysis twice a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Feeling crappy today so I didn't have a chance to run out and get silversides, but it did take a piece of krill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
