Aquarium - By A First Timer

Last week we installed aquarium in our house. We are first timers for aquariums in house. Mostly motivated by my daughter's interest towards fishes. 

We went to an aquarium shop (Kagadassapura, Bangalore) nearby to our locality. Introducing myself as a first timer for aquarium, I asked him to suggest on installing an aquarium. 

He showed and explained me on the varieties of aquarium and it's accessories. He asked me to pick the products based on my requirements like how big I need and the budget.

I opted for the custom made aquarium glass tank (2ft x 1ft) along with top and steel stand over the imported aquarium which was very costly.

I bought all the accessories along with the tank like 4 Kgs of gravel, heater, motor filter, light, fish net, food, live plants, medicine, plastic plants and siphon suction pump. And I bought 5 pairs of fishes. 

The total cost came for Rs. 4100. With a discount of Rs 200, I paid Rs 3900. I have listed down the price details below.
