WHO WE SUPPORT

Australia is home to a rich diversity of freshwater fish species, with up to 90 of its 315 varieties facing the threat of extinction. This includes the nation’s tiniest aquatic jewel, the red-finned blue-eye, which, after millions of years of evolution, is on the brink of disappearing within our lifetimes.

The Australia New Guinea Fish Association NSW (ANGFA NSW) plays a pivotal role in reversing this trend. ANGFA NSW, powered by a community of enthusiasts and experts, dedicates itself to preserving and restoring Australia’s freshwater ecosystems. Their work spans significant conservation efforts such as the Long Swamp Restoration, Lake Wanam Management, and The Save Ewens Pond Project, aiming to promote the study, conservation, and culture of native freshwater fish across Australia and New Guinea while raising public awareness about the challenges faced by these precious species.

AllFish2U is a proud major supporter of ANGFA NSW, driven by a shared commitment to safeguarding Australia’s native freshwater fish. Chris and the team at AllFish2U recognise the indispensable role these species play in our ecosystems, from controlling pest populations to being an integral part of our natural heritage. Through this support for ANGFA NSW, AllFish2U is at the forefront of efforts to highlight the critical state of these fishes and work towards a sustainable future where their survival is secured. The conservation of these unique species is more than a mission; it’s a responsibility we all share to ensure the vibrancy of our aquatic ecosystems for generations to come.

Established in the spring of 1982 by a passionate group of cichlid aficionados, the NSW Cichlid Society is one of Australia’s earliest and most enduring cichlid-focused organisations. The allure of cichlids lies not only in their remarkable diversity but also in the complexities of their care and breeding and the critical need for their conservation. To this day, this society remains dedicated to its core mission: to amass, organise, and foster knowledge and enthusiasm for the care, breeding, and study of Cichlidae family fishes, both in aquarium settings and their natural environments.

Moreover, the society is deeply committed to advancing the conservation of cichlids, many of whose futures are imperilled by habitat destruction in their indigenous regions due to developing nations’ expansion and environmental practices. This focus on conservation and promoting sustainable practices is crucial, now more than ever, to ensure the survival and flourishing of these cherished species for future generations.

AllFish2U is a proud major supporter of the NSW Cichlid Society, driven by a shared commitment to foster meaningful discussions about the Cichlidae species and to support the continuation of sustainable aquarium fish-keeping with all fish breeders and fish hobbyists.
