Promoting the conservation, study, keeping and propagation of the native fish species of Australia and New Guinea. If you are interested in Australian native freshwater fish, be they large or small, obscure or quite abundant, there is a group of people with whom you share a common interest. ANGFA was formed in 1982 by a group of hobbyists whose interests were in the conservation, keeping, breeding and studying of the fishes of Sahul - pronounced Sa-hule. This name refers to the Australian landmass up to about 10,000 years ago when land bridges existed between Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea. You too can discover the pleasures of keeping the native freshwater fishes of both Australia and New Guinea by becoming a member of ANGFA. You will get the chance to meet other enthusiasts, scientists and hobbyists and the monthly auction will give you an opportunity to purchase many hard to find native fish and plant species.    |
