2009 Breeders Award
The 2009 Breeders‘ Award has been run and won! Certificates and
trophy were presented at the November meeting, in case you missed
it……….
There was a small increase in the number of members that submitted
Breeding/Spawning Registration forms in 2009 but still plenty of room
for a few more.
Laurie Chan came out on top in the Annual Fish Breeders‘ Award with
an impressive tally of 20 different species during 2009 including 10
species bred for the first time. Laurie is edging ever closer to the
coveted Grand Master Breeder‘s status. Congratulations Laurie!
Coming in second was CDAS Treasurer, Andrew ?Rosco? Ross.
Rosco‘s mix of 8 species from Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika
earned him enough points to reach ?Master? breeders‘ status; he‘s
now knocking on the door of ?Senior Master? status.
Very close behind in third place was Christine Morton. 2009 was
Christine‘s first year in the breeders award program, her breeding
efforts which included 9 different species saw her jump straight to
?Advanced? status.
Winner of the junior award for 2009 was Morgane Smee. Morgane
breed Zebra Danios and wrote an article about it for tank talk which
earned her bonus points.
Laurie Chan also took out the annual Australian and New Guinean
Native Fish Breeders‘ Award by breeding Black Banded Rainbow fish.
