Welcome to SFAS's Breeder and Horticultural Award Program (BAP/HAP) information page.
 

The BAP (Breeder Award Program) and HAP (Horticulturist Award Program) aim to inspire aquarists of all ages and experience levels to successfully breed fish and propagate aquatic plants in their home tanks. Participating in these programs is not only enjoyable, but also contributes to the ongoing preservation of many aquatic species.

At the end of each year, SFAS recognizes top contributors by presenting awards for “Breeder of the Year,” “Horticulturist of the Year,” and “Rookie of the Year,” based on the total points earned throughout the season.
