Exclusive Private Tour| Chennai Public Aquarium

In this special on-location episode, I join Beta Mahatvaraj a.k.a Meenkaran for a private tour of the Chennai Public Aquarium. Alongside its many aquatic displays, the aquarium also houses Meenkaran's permanent photo exhibition — a breathtaking showcase of Indian Native Fishes he has documented across the Western Ghats, Eastern Ghats, and beyond. From tiny jewels like the Scarlet Badis and Dario huliensis, to majestic species such as the Malabar Mahseer, Barca Snakehead, and even the charming Indian Pea Puffer — this exhibition captures the incredible breadth of India’s freshwater biodiversity. Join us as we explore the tanks, photography, and stories behind these fish and their habitats. Premiering tonight at 8PM IST on The Weekend Aquarist Podcast.
