Annual Breeders Championship
Since 1999, Strood & District Aquarist Society has run a Breeders Championship. The aim has been to actively promote the breeding and raising of all species of tropical and coldwater fish. See the results below.
The rules have been kept as simple as possible!
If we can be of assistance in helping you in your attempts to breed any of the fishes below, please contact us.
Please remember, however, that what worked for us, may not work for you!
