The club formed in 1992 as a sub-group of the S.A. Aquarium Society. At their first AGM mid 1994 the group voted to establish itself as an independent incorporated body. The club later applied to become an affiliate of the Australian New Guinea Fish Association. (ANGFA) and in late 1996 were accepted. The Club were very pleased to receive from ANGFA National a complete set of "Fishes of SAHUL" for their library & we now enjoy the benefits of being a part of ANGFA and its Regional Groups.

The objects of the Association are

• The keeping and propagation of native fish of Australia and New Guinea, particularly South Australian species
• The surveying of habitats to establish a body
  of knowledge relating to native fish
• The continual study of matters relating to the ecology
• Conservation of native fish and informing the community and appropriate agencies of knowledge gained.

The Association meets at the Payneham Community Centre. Payneham Rd, Payneham on the first Monday of every Month starting at 8:00pm.

Visitors are always welcome.

The Club organises field trips for its members. We also encourage members to display Native Fish each year in the Royal Adelaide Show. The Club also does displays of Native Fish for educational purposes.
