No, that’s not latin 
It just means – a betta plakat (PK) fish (siamese fighting gish) with a pattern on its body called ‘red dragon’ and with finnage of a halfmoon (HM) (a circle cut in half?).
I am bad at explaining, so here’s a handy link to the Wikipedia page on bettas and their fin types – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siamese_fighting_fish#Tail_shapes.
That’s a ‘Red Dragon’ pattern – a visible layer of white on the body with red fins.
In the above picture the betta shows his tail fin which has straight edges and a 180 degree spread. Hence the name, halfmoon – HM.
And the below picture, just to show the betta’s body in detail.
The above pictures are all of the bugger who is the star of my lot of fishes.

Hi Anwin, I am dazzled by your blog. I wonder how do you manage to have such elaborate template/contents and yet manage to have quick page load. I will comment on your contents some other time. Congrats for a job well done at Indiblogger meet. My son Mithun(9900147747) is glad to hear about your progress. Cheers.
