SUNSHINE COAST, QLD – 18 February 2026 – As local fish shops continue to disappear across Australia, Sunshine Coast-based Aquarium Central is filling the void by offering one of the country’s largest ranges of freshwater aquarium fish, now available for delivery nationwide. Specializing in rare and exotic species, the company is leveraging innovative online delivery methods to ensure that hobbyists in every corner of the country can access unique fish.
With the Australian aquarium hobby facing challenges from biosecurity restrictions and a decline in brick-and-mortar stores, Aquarium Central has emerged as a critical resource for both seasoned and novice fishkeepers. The company’s online platform, AquariumFishOnline.com.au, provides a seamless experience for customers to browse and purchase a vast selection of freshwater fish, plants, and equipment, all from the comfort of their homes.
“We are passionate about the freshwater aquarium hobby and are committed to supporting the Australian fishkeeping community,” says Nigel, Founder and Lead Aquarist at Aquarium Central. “Our goal is to provide access to a diverse range of healthy, high-quality fish, including rare species that are not typically available in local stores. By perfecting our shipping methods, we can confidently deliver live fish to customers anywhere in Australia, ensuring the hobby continues to thrive.”
The timing of this announcement is particularly relevant as Australia heads into the autumn season, a popular time for starting new aquarium setups. With people spending more time indoors, the therapeutic benefits of aquariums, such as stress relief and mindfulness, are more appealing than ever. Aquarium Central is well-positioned to meet this growing demand with its extensive range of products and expert advice.
In addition to its impressive selection of fish, Aquarium Central also offers a wide variety of aquarium plants, high-quality equipment, and specialized foods. The company’s team of passionate specialists are dedicated to providing expert guidance and support to customers, ensuring they have everything they need to create and maintain a beautiful and healthy aquarium.
