Purpose and Objectives of the ACA C.A.R.E.S. Preservation Program

The purpose of the ACA C.A.R.E.S. Preservation Program is to encourage hobbyists worldwide to devote tank space to one or more species-at-risk, while forming an information network between aquarists, scientists and conservationists.

The ACA C.A.R.E.S. Preservation Program has Four Major Objectives

1) To bring AWARENESS to the critical situation of our fish in nature
2) To RECOGNIZE and ENCOURAGE hobbyists who maintain species-at-risk
3) To SHARE data and experiences through notes, graphing and manuscripts so that others may learn to maintain those same, and similar species
4) To PRESERVE species-at-risk for future generations

We look forward to adding your name to the growing list! I am certain that with your help we can obtain our goal of placing every species on the list into at least one of your tanks! ...and then to learn that your species is herding a group of fry around the tank.....


The C.A.R.E.S. Conservation Program is about our fish, and it is about people. We are one team, working together. Please, clear a tank ~ save a fish!

We can and we will make a difference!
