Especially for the aquarist

Welcome to Cairns Marine's aquarist portal. Aquaria create the desire in all of us to conserve the marine environment. This section of the site is for people who share our passion for marine life.

If you don't already know Cairns Marine is Australia's largest and leading supplier of quality hand caught marine specimens for display.  We supply Australian retail outlets, international wholesalers and public aquaria. 

A good place to start is the Cairns Marine Species and Care Atlas [1] where you can see the many stunning species of fish, corals and invertebrates we stock from the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea. All of them hand caught and guaranteed free from the effects of poisonous drugs and chemicals.

Take some time to look around and you will find that we also have many beautiful, rare and unusual freshwater and sub-tropical marine species as well. In fact Cairns Marine is the only supplier for many interesting gems and jewels from the seas and waters of the land downunder.

Each species links to the Cairns Marine Atlas a resource we are building for hobbyists and professionals alike so please bookmark it, return regularly and join the community by adding comments.

We will also soon offer some really useful web services such as RSS species alerts. Just register your favourite species and when we publish new web content you will be sent an email alert.  You can also register for an alert to be when your favourite species comes into stock.

Subscribe to our occasional email newsletter to keep up-to-date with breaking news of interest to aquarists and feature articles about our collecting activities in the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea.

Finally, we'd like you to know that Cairns Marine is committed to the sustainable supply of specimens to the aquarium industry. That's why we created Trigger Digger to give you a sustainable choice!
