I can't imagine that NANFA would ever get caught up in requiring "starter
cultures" of natives to be distributed. Each state has it's own peculiar
laws regarding sale and shipping of native fishes, and it would be a
nightmare trying to make such a requirement meet every legal requirement.
NANFA has traditionally allowed trading and allowed advertising for such
trading to appear in the publications, but places the need to meet legal
requirements in the hands of the traders.

I wouldn't want to discourage a good and useful program, but the
BAP run by those other guys is really nothing more than a conduit
for newbies to get free fish, despite their best intentions. So if this
involves sending "starter cultures" to would-be breeders then be
prepared to never hear from them again.

It makes me mad when I go to all the trouble of having Marta cook up about
a hundred drumsticks, and the guy at the Marineland says, "You can't throw
chicken to the dolphins. They eat fish." Sure they eat fish, if that's all
you give them. Man, wise up.
