ANGFA Life Member
Adrian Tappin
ANGFA Life Membership was awarded to Adrian in 2016. Adrian Tappin was a founding member of ANGFA. Together with Graham Heidke and members of the Eastern Districts Aquarium Society native fishes study group they were instrumental in the formation of the association in 1982, promoting the idea of a national association of aquarists interested in the keeping, propagation and study of the freshwater fishes of Australia and New Guinea.
Adrian became a member of the national committee in October 1994 and served until October 2000. He was subsequently elected to the position of ANGFA Bulletin Editor from October 1995 until December 2000, and during that time was instrumental in raising the profile of the newsletter. In 2000 he switched to become the Editor of In-Stream, the newsletter of ANGFA (Qld), until finally retiring in 2015.
Adrian Tappin has been a significant contributor to the promotion of the aquarium keeping, conservation, study and propagation of the rainbowfishes of Australia and New Guinea. In 1996 ‘Rainbowfish On-Line’ was created on the World Wide Web, increasing the popularity of rainbowfishes both nationally and internationally, with a new page added each month. In late 1997 ‘Home of the Rainbowfish’ was created and incorporated Rainbowfish On-Line. In January 1998 the website was selected for inclusion in the National Library of Australia's digital archive of Australian online publications. Anyone who has participated in any of the online forums involving native fishes would recognise that Adrian has been a treasure trove of information, providing voluminous detailed answers to many questions.
In 2010 Adrian published probably one of the best books ever written on fish keeping, and certainly the most comprehensive on rainbowfishes specifically. Available as a free pdf download, ‘Rainbowfishes ~ Their Care & Keeping in Captivity’ is an amazing illustrated guide to the remarkable rainbowfishes found in Australia and New Guinea, providing a tremendous amount of information for anyone from beginner to experienced keeper. A comprehensive illustrated species section is also provided. This was followed by a second edition in 2011, almost 200 megabytes in size, and still highly accessed and downloaded today.
This account is based upon his contributions found across ANGFA's publications.
Publications & Works
Adrian Tappin retired as Editor of ANGFA Queensland's In-Stream in 2015 after fifteen years at its helm, his final issue the September/October edition that year. His aspirations have always been to provide enthusiasts of Australian and New Guinea aquatic life and habitats with the best available scientific and hobbyist literature, and he leaves an amazing legacy to the hobby which he generously shares.
e-Book

Contributions to ANGFA Publications
- 11 authored/co-authored articles in Fishes of Sahul, spanning 1983 to 2019, including two 40-page-plus "Fish in Focus" species profiles co-authored in the 2010s
- 260 bylined items in ANGFA Queensland's In-Stream across his fifteen years as editor (2000–2015) — species profiles, aquarium-science columns, book reviews and a long-running "Australian Rivers" survey series covering rivers and creeks the length of the country
- 47 further items in the pre-2000 Qld Newsletter (1985–1999), from his earliest years in ANGFA Queensland through to his editorship of the ANGFA Bulletin
- ANGFA Bulletin Editor (1995–2000) and In-Stream Editor (2000–2015), and a founding member of ANGFA itself in 1982
Counts are drawn from an author/byline search across every ANGFA publication processed so far. As editor of both publications for two decades combined, Adrian's own byline count understates his role in shaping and producing them.
