Hariom Aqua Fish

We spend most of our time here at No 60, Pilaji Ganj, just around the Sindhi Market area. If you know Station Road, you know how busy it gets. It’s mostly just us looking after the fish and making sure the water stays right. It is a lot of work, honestly. People come in looking for something small for their homes, or maybe they want a bigger setup, and we just try to help them figure out what works. Sometimes the pumps act up or a tank leaks, and that’s just how it goes in this business. My hands are usually wet from moving things around. We’ve been in this spot for a while now. The Sindhi Market has its own rhythm, and we are just one part of that. It isn’t fancy here. We have rows of tanks and the sound of air stones going all day. Some days are slow, and we just sit and watch the fish swim while waiting for the next person to walk through the door. It’s a quiet life in a way, despite the noise outside on the road. We don’t do big ads or anything like that. Most folks just know where we are because they’ve walked past us for years. We just keep the shop open and do what needs doing every morning. It’s about the fish mostly, and making sure they’re okay before they go to a new home. We also sell some food and decorations for the tanks, but that's secondary. The main thing is the livestock. If you come by, you'll see we aren't big on appearances, just healthy fish and clean glass. That’s how we’ve always done it.
