Pooja Aquatic Center

Pooja Aquatic Center is located in Banashankari 2nd Stage. It is a place filled with the sound of bubbling water from the fish tanks that line the walls. We spend a lot of our time here cleaning the glass and checking on the filters to make sure everything is running right. It is not a silent place because of all the pumps and the occasional splash, but it is a familiar sound to us. Banashankari is a busy part of the city, so we get a fair number of people dropping in to look at the different types of fish we have. Some days we are busy catching fish with nets for customers or helping them pick out the right kind of gravel and plants. It can get a bit messy with water on the floor, so we are often mopping up after ourselves. We have a small counter where we keep the ledger and handle the payments. The shop isn't huge, but we make use of every inch of space for the tanks and the bags of fish food. In the mornings, we have to feed all the fish and check the water temperatures before the doors open. It is a lot of repetitive work, but we are used to the rhythm of it. We don't have any fancy displays, just the rows of tanks and the supplies people need for their own aquariums at home. It’s just a local shop in the neighborhood.
