Australian Lungfish
Dating back over 100 million years, this living fossil can be found in southeast Queensland.
It uses its modified swim bladder as a lung, allowing it to survive in oxygen-poor water by gulping air.
With fleshy fins resembling early limbs, it’s considered a key link between fish and land vertebrates. Remarkably, it can live over 100 years!
Banded Archerfish
A sharpshooter of the aquatic world, the banded archerfish is found in mangroves and estuaries.
Known for its precision, it spits jets of water to knock insects off branches, sometimes leaping to catch prey directly.
This unique hunting technique makes it one of the most fascinating fish to observe in action.
Rainbowfish
Small, vibrant freshwater fish native to Australia, New Guinea, and nearby islands, rainbowfish are known for their iridescent scales that shimmer in changing light, and are a favourite among aquarists.
Boeseman's rainbowfish display stunning blue-to-orange gradients, Parkinson’s rainbowfish feature bold yellow or orange streaks, and the red rainbowfish, native to Indonesia, showcases a striking crimson hue.
