We talk about: ✔️ Building credibility over 20+ years ✔️ Taking over a legacy business ✔️ Growing an aquarium gallery in a competitive market ✔️ Launching TIAS (The Indian Aquascapers Summit) ✔️ The future of Aqua Club & India’s aquascaping movement As always, the focus is not just on tanks — but on the entrepreneurial journey behind them. 📍 Premieres Tonight | 8 PM IST On The Weekend Aquarist Podcast Set your reminder.

A short reflection on how environment influences growth—using Boesemani rainbowfish as a metaphor for how our surroundings shape who we become.

“— Premieres Tonight at 8 PM on The Weekend Aquarist Step away from the noise of the city… and step into a world most Mumbaikars walk past without ever noticing. In this special on-location episode, I walk alongside marine conservationist Pradip Patade during a Marine Life of Mumbai shore walk — experiencing first-hand the incredible biodiversity that reveals itself when the tide pulls back. Joining us on this walk is our magazine subscriber from Dubai — and now a dear friend — Vivek Jayan, who also stepped in behind the camera to help capture this journey. What unfolds is more than a walk. It’s a shift in perspective. From sea stars and crabs to slugs, corals and hidden intertidal life, this is a powerful reminder that our cities are not separate from nature — they are part of it. For any city dweller with access to a shoreline, this is an experience that must be felt at least once. Tide-pooling isn’t just exploration — it’s education, conservation, and connection across generations. Because when we truly see what lives beside us… we start to care enough to protect it. 🎥 Watch the Premiere Tonight at 8 PM 👉 Don’t forget to subscribe to The Weekend Aquarist for more real stories from the aquatic world. 🎉 1st Anniversary Special — Limited Time Celebrate with us by grabbing our Annual Digital Subscription at just ₹999 ✔ Includes ALL 2025 issues ✔ Digital-first access ✔ Special anniversary pricing ⏳ Valid only if you subscribe tonight before midnight 👉 https://www.weekendaquarist.in/digital-anniversary-offer #MarineLifeOfMumbai #PradipPatade #ShoreWalk #TidePooling #IntertidalLife #MarineBiodiversity #coastalconservation #Octopus #SeaStar #SeaSlug #CoralReefLife #MarineCreatures #OceanLife #HiddenOcean

What if Mumbai’s shores were more alive than we ever imagined? Join us as we walk with Pradip Patade of Marine Life of Mumbai, discovering the hidden world that reveals itself when the tide pulls back. This isn’t just a walk — it’s a reminder that we share our cities with nature. 🎥 Full Episode Premieres Tonight at 8 PM on The Weekend Aquarist
