In the future other families of aquatic life may be added. </font><br /> <br /> <font size="4">Cichlids and Catfish will be organized by breeding difficulty level. "A", the first level, will be the easiest fish to propagate. Category "B" and "C" will represent climbing difficulty levels. Category "D" will be the extremely difficult with many "not yet bred in captivity" species. Fish will be tentatively set in related categories with revisions and inclusions as needed. http://www.midwestcichlid.com/content.php?134 http://www.midwestcichlid.com/content.php?134 Tue, 01 Jun 2010 18:14:00 -0700 MCA BAP <b><u><font size="4">PURPOSE </font></u></b><br /> <br /> <font size="4">The intended purpose of the MCA Breeders Award Program ("BAP") is designed to stimulate interest and foster knowledge in the husbandry of Cichlids &amp; Catfish. Participation in this program will encourage the research and the conservation of Cichlids &amp; Catfish, and recognize the achievements of the participating MCA members. It is also intended to encourage excellent breeding stock and to make a wide variety of cichlids more readily available to the general membership, while in turn, encouraging more active participation by MCA Members in the club. </font> http://www.midwestcichlid.com/content.php?133 http://www.midwestcichlid.com/content.php?133 Tue, 01 Jun 2010 18:06:00 -0700 Local MCA Chapters <font size="4">We currently have 10 MCA Chapters:</font><blockquote><font size="4">INDY CHAPTER</font><br /> <font size="4">INDIANA CHAPTER</font><br /> <font size="4">IOWA CHAPTER</font><br /> <font size="4">KANSAS CITY CHAPTER</font><br /> <font size="4">MINNESOTA CHAPTER</font><br /> <font size="4">NEBRASKA CHAPTER</font><br /> <font size="4">OKLAHOMA CHAPTER</font><br /> <font size="4">SOUTH DAKOTA CHAPTER</font><br /> <font size="4">ST.
