Sundarvan Nature Discovery Centre has launched a new aquarium at its Mini Zoo in Ahmedabad, offering visitors an up-close experience with over 20 species of native and exotic freshwater fishes. The aquarium is designed to educate people about aquatic ecosystems and conservation through an interactive and engaging setup.
A Diverse Collection of Freshwater Species
The aquarium showcases a variety of native and exotic fish species, including:
Albino Tiger Oscar
Blood Red Parrot Cichlid
Sucker Fish
Blue Kadango
Blue Dolphin Cichlid
Additionally, local fish species like Ghol and Indian carps (Rohu, Katla, and Mrigal) have been included to highlight India’s rich aquatic biodiversity.
CSR Initiative and Open-to-Sky Pond
According to Sureshbabu, Senior Programme Coordinator at Sundarvan, the aquarium is part of a corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative aimed at promoting awareness and conservation. A key highlight is the open-to-sky pond, which allows visitors to observe fish both from above and below the water, creating an immersive and educational experience.
Innovative Educational Approach
Unlike traditional setups, Sundarvan Nature Discovery Centre has opted for a hands-on learning experience instead of standard species labels. Visitors are encouraged to identify fish through interactive activities, enhancing their understanding of aquatic habitats and biodiversity.
Conclusion
The new aquarium at Sundarvan Nature Discovery Centre is more than just an attraction—it’s an educational initiative aimed at fostering curiosity and awareness about marine conservation and wildlife. With its interactive learning model, Sundarvan continues to be a leading centre for nature education and conservation in Ahmedabad.
