Our Story
Decades of Dedication to the World's Rarest Fish
What began as a lifelong obsession with prehistoric aquatic life has grown into the UK's most trusted source for rare lungfish — built on two decades of expertise, ethical practice, and a genuine passion for these extraordinary creatures.
Our journey started over twenty years ago with a single aquarium and an unwavering fascination with the ancient. What began as a private collection of rare Arowanas evolved into a specialist operation dedicated to sourcing, breeding, and placing the world's most remarkable aquatic species with collectors who truly appreciate them.
We have spent years cultivating relationships with the finest breeders across Southeast Asia, South America, and Australia. Every fish we offer is personally selected, quarantined, and assessed by our team before it ever reaches a customer. We do not deal in volume — we deal in quality.
Today, Australian Lung Fish is recognised across the UK and Europe as the destination for serious collectors. From the iconic Asian Arowana to the ancient Australian Lungfish, our collection represents the pinnacle of the rare fish hobby.
