Note 7 – Two (2) species must be other than snails. Note 8 – Gobies, Gudgeons, Tongues, Cartilages. Note 9 – One species other than Melanotaenia. In the specialty program, although point values are not counted, the same requirements must be met as in the Basic Program for each class of fish. Whatever is required of the aquarist to gain credit for a 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 point fish in the Basic Program is also a requirement for receiving credit in the Specialty Program. Including the fish in an auction, writing an article, or both is also required in the Specialty Program. For killifish and other continuous spawners, the eggs laid or fry expelled during a ten (10) day period will be considered a spawn. A maximum of three (3) spawns per species may be reported. If a species of fish qualifies in more than one category, the aquarist will select the category in which to record the spawn. This decision is final and the spawn may not be reclassified at a later date. Subsequent spawns may be recorded in other appropriate categories. Awards will be given to each participant as they achieve the certification in each category. In addition the following special awards will be given: |

to all the previously mentioned awards in both the Basic and Specialty
Programs, the BAP committee may from time to time recommend that
a breeder be honored with the Grand Coup Award. This award may be
recommended by the BAP committee and awarded by a vote of the NJAS
Board of Directors for any outstanding or noteworthy accomplishment
in the realm of fish breeding. THE NJAS BAP PROGRAM DOES NOT ACCEPT POINTS OR CREDIT EARNED FROM PARTICIPATION IN ANOTHER BAP PROGRAM. |
