How to use this form

Simply copy the form portion of this page (below) and paste it into a word processing software, such as Microsoft Word®, which will allow you to complete the form on your computer. The fields are suggestions for information that help to make the database somewhat uniform, but it is not necessary to fill in every item. Please be as complete as possible. Don't worry about the size of the frames for input - they should automatically expand as necessary and we will see all your text when you send us the electronic version. If you have information which doesn't seem to "fit" anywhere, simply insert it at the most relevant location, create your own frame, or type the information at the end of the form. Original photos or links to videos created by you and posted to sites such as YouTube are also greatly appreciated. By sending these to us, you are granting us permission to use your material to promote aquarium propagation and The Breeder's Registry - Thank you!

When you have completed the form, e-mail it to us along with a photo head shot of yourself (no other people in photo, please!). Additional photos or attached files you may wish to include should be e-mailed separately.

or You may also print out the form and mail additional material via post to:

The Breeder's Registry

After acceptance, we will create your Registry page from the information you have provided. Please allow us some time to send out your Spawning Report to our reviewers and receive their comments. Your submission is greatly appreciated.

Spawning Report Input Form

Thank you for registering as a Breeder in the database. If information is not available, write n/a. If the information is an approximation, place a tilde ( ~ ) in front of the data. If the information requested does not apply, leave blank. References to times should be relative to your photoperiod. This form is purposely designed to be "generic" and is applicable to fishes and invertebrates, so all fields may not be relevant. This was done to reduce paperwork and help conserve resources.
