There are hundreds of different species of fresh water fish in Australia and most of them cannot be found in any other country in the world. This is because millions of year ago the Australian continent has been separated from other land masses, thus the fishes living there could not crossbreed with the fishes from other continents. This has led to the development of unique species and characteristics of Australian fresh water fish.
