The Federation of British Aquatic Societies recognises
that its obligation of service extends beyond
its traditional role of providing support for Societies
to promote responsible fishkeeping to all those
wishing to keep fishes in captivity.

The Codes have been designed to cover three main areas:

a) Care and protection for all fish kept in captivity.

b) The Transportation and Exhibiting of fishes.

c) The Sale of Fishes at Auctions

DUTY OF CARE IS NOT RESTRICTED
Every fishkeeper has a Duty of Care 24 hours a day
in respect of any species held by them in captivity.

It is recommended that these Codes of Practice are read in conjunction
with the series of CARE SHEETS covering the care in aquarium or pond of most popular groups of fishes, together with aquarium management advice.

All of these documents can be downloaded from this website.
