It’s been more than three weeks now since the Taraporewala Aquarium renovated for Rs 20 crore was thrown open to the public. However, with more than 125 marine fish of different species dead, there are doubts over whether proper research and opinion was sought from experts before housing the marine species and before undertaking the larger renovation process.

The aquarium has always been a favourite amongst citizens and tourists, but post renovation, expectations were so high that within a day of its opening, thousands of people were competing to enter the aquarium. However, those knowledgeable about fish were unhappy with limited species on display.
