Breeder's Achievement Award
The Breeder's Achievement Award
is designed to encourage members to breed a variety of different species.
The award has been adopted by a number of different aquarium societies
within Australia as a common indication of achievement. It consists of
a series of lapel pins, each awarded as the breeder reaches increasing
numbers of species bred.
| Rules Governing Breeders Achievement Awards | |
| 1. | Fish are counted as separate species only if the Latin or scientific name is different. Colour varieties within the same scientific species are considered to be one species. |
| 2. | The parent fish and fry must be inspected within two weeks of the fry swimming. A second inspection must take place sixty days from hatching. Inspection must be made by a financial member of an aquarium society. |
Registration forms are available
from the Breeder's Achievement Awards Secretary and are lodged with the
secretary to register a valid claim.

Cyril Callam Trophy
The Cyril Callam Trophy, commemorating
a past President and Patron of the Society, is an annual home competition
for the best display aquarium. Trophies are awarded in two classes:
Planted Tanks and Non-planted or Cichlid
type tanks. This also includes Marine and Coldwater
aquaria. Each class has an Open Section, Junior Section
and a Novice Section. Judging takes place in late October with
entry process advertised in "Fishtales".
Open Section is for
all comers with no limits on aquarium size or type.
Junior Section is limited
to members under 18 years of age, again no specification limits on type
or size of aquarium.
Novice Section is for
first time entrants of any age. Both Novice and Junior entrants are automatically
qualified for the open section.
Judging is done according
to a formula appropriate for the type of tank. Sample categories include;
General Impression, Decor, Fish Health and maturity
etc.
Judges and photographers travel to each entrant's home on judging day, to evaluate and record each entry. The results will be announced during the Presentation Night in December. Copies of the judging video is sometimes available at a reasonable price to interested entrants.
