Nannoperca oxleyana, commonly known as the Oxleyan pygmy perch, is a species of temperate perch endemic to Australia. It occurs in the coastal drainages of eastern Australia, being found in dune lakes, ponds, creeks, and swamps with plentiful vegetation to provide shelter.

Inhabits ponds, dune lakes and creeks, usually among aquatic weeds (Ref. 6398). Lives in swamps with prolific sedge growth, gently flowing streams and dune lakes in areas of coastal heathland (wallum). Water is often darkly tannin-stained and acidic (pH 5.4-6.5) with temperature range from 12° to 28°C (Ref. 44894).

Inhabits slightly acidic and tannin-stained water in slow-flowing densely-vegetated pools, streams, river channels, lakes and swamps, especially in Banksia -dominated heathlands or 'wallum' habitats.

Oxleyan Pygmy Perch are a small freshwater fish endemic to the coastal region of eastern Australia, from northern NSW to south-eastern Queensland. They have specific habitat requirements and are patchily distributed within this range. Oxleyan Pygmy Perch have disappeared from some locations and remaining populations are small and fragmented.

Nannoperca oxleyana has a fragmenteed and restristed range from Tin Can Bay, north of Noosa in southern Queensland, to the Richmond River in northern New South Wales although originally probably as far south as the Manning River at Taree, also found on Fraser, Moreton and Stradbroke islands. Its prevalance within this range has been ...
