my BAP records


Although I was breeding livebearers before I joined the Minnesota Aquarium Society, it was my club's BAP (Breeders Award Program) that led me into serious fish breeding. The program and fellow club members encouraged me to try what I probably would not have tried on my own. Below is a listing of the species that I have spawned within my local society's BAP.
