Want to visit a classical Nature Aquarium Gallery in India? Please visit the Still Water Aquatics or ADA India's gallery in Bengaluru, India.
In this first part of the two-part video series, I am focussing mainly on the massive 180 cm by 120 cm by 60 cm (H), 1200 L Nature Aquarium, which I believe is the only ADA Cube Garden of this size existing outside Japan and China.
This tank uses a customized Sump Filter also supplied by ADA and showcases a huge variety of exotic plants and fish, both from India as well as outside India. Here are the names of certain rare aquatic plants that I saw:
Nymphoides sp. 'Taiwan'
Crinum calamistratum
Ottelia ulvifolia
Aponogeton madagascariensis
People wanting to visit can use this address -
Building, #70/1, 3rd floor, J&K Bank, Mission Rd, Sampangi Rama Nagara, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560027

Also, people from outside Bengaluru can stay at the YMCA hostel (www.ymcablr.org/accomodation/), it is within walking distance from the Gallery and is also very economical and comfortable.
