Now. The Greater Detroit Aquarium Society has had such a program for a
couple of years. The ALA (American Livebearers Association) is developing
such a program now. Also, a Canadian group is working guidelines for
such a program (called CBAP: Conservation Breeder Award Program).

Perhaps each of us, who is a member of a local fish club, should have a
personal goal, over the next year, of having that local club start a
CBAP program.
