Breeder Awards Program

One of the coolest aspects of the hobby is seeing aquatic pets thrive and reproduce in the environment that we have created. BAP endeavors to provide a structure for hobbyists to share their experiences and be recognized for their breeding success. Wherever you are in your aquatic experience from your first aquarium to a full-blown case of multi-tank syndrome, BAP is open to everyone.

Awards include:

  • BAP Point Levels Awards: 7 levels based on the total number of cumulative points earned from 50 points up to 1,500 points

  • Breeder of the Year Award: Recognizes the breeder that accumulated the most points in the BAP year

  • Species Specialization Awards: Recognizes breeders for continued breeding success with a selected category of animals

An example of how to earn points in the BAP:

Step#1 Your guppies spawn and you raise the babies for 60 days

Step#2 You complete one of the spawn verification options, like bringing 6 of the young fish to a RAS meeting and placing them in the auction…this is a great option because you are sharing fish within the club for other members to enjoy

Step#3 You submit your online BAP entry form, and for guppies you are awarded 10 BAP points…congratulations!
