India has plenty of open space and protected areas for animals and birds. From zoos, national parks and sanctuaries, we have places like aquariums and snake parks to protect and preserve several species from extinction.
There are several aquariums in India that take care of aquatic life too. Though hard to maintain, these organisations do a splendid job by feeding them in the most appropriate habitat. Apart from these aquariums being tourist attractions, several of them also sell fish, for which they find plenty of buyers. Let us check out the most famous aquariums in India!
