    Sold Neon Tetra fish for first time fishkeeping in an 8" plastic betta tank with plastic plants inside !!. I went to purchase a small fish tank for 5 year old, did not know much. I asked for guppy or betta or Molly. The salesman sold Neon Tetra saying he did not have any of the 3 fish but these "glowing fish " would be good. Either he did not know ( in which case he should not be working there) or he did it deliberately. It was a gift for my 5 yr old son. Bad shop, really bad. This is 3rd Day Morning and BOTH FISH DEAD. Mr Owner, I did not "select" them, Your employee were successful in selling them because I did not know about pet fish

    My key takeaways after having frequented the S.R Das road shop thrice. 1. All over get up: The store is compactly set up but one faces the inconvenience of having to open their shoes every time they enter which is highly unfeasible and inconvenient to consumers on the go. The owner should make necessary arrangements to solve the same. 2. Service: The store owner is well behaved and accomodating but his primary assistant has a very haughty attitude reeking of arrogance. I remember having gone in the owner's absence requesting the assistant to fetch me some rock salt to treat my fish and he rudely remarked that they only sell aquarium salt and should go to a departmental store instead. (naturally anyone with common sense would visit a pet shop to buy products that are niche and specifically catered to their animals and not the ones used in day to day life). I also noticed that the owner exercised preferential treatment based on his perception of customers which is very unfair in my opinion. 3. Products: The shop houses a variety of fish and an assortment of products but I'd advice any new hobbyist to visit the shop only after doing their homework. I purchased a few plants (mainly Anubias and Java fern and they held up pretty nicely). Now here is the flip side, i got two baloon platies and they were infected with gill fluke and other parasites. The owner quoted a price of Rs. 150 per piece (which is comparatively steep in terms of market price to those sold in other online and offline chains). The owner could contend that the same price is reflected due to the premium value or novelty attached to product but that argument would fall in shambles because the fish were exhibiting signs of infection which show poor quality of the livestock in itself. This accounts for GROSS FAILURE in the adherence of basic industry standards of quartining and selling healthy fish followed by most fish traders world wide. Lastly, the owner might contend that I as buyer should have exercised the principle of caveat emptor (buyer must beware) but that would again be a wrongful premise to adhere to in this case as such transactions often happen on mutual trust/fiduciary relations. Conclusion: All over very dissapointed by the quality of service afforded in this shop. I would request the store owner to hire competent staff who know how to cater to clients instead of posing to be Fish Pundits and acting out in a whimsical and capricious fashion. Secondly, would advice the owner to sell healthy livestock and do something about having to open shoes everytime.

    I don't know what gives the owners the right to be so rude to the customers. When we pointed out about the infected fishes they became absolutely so rude and defensive with us!! Learn to accept your mistakes dude! Be sorry and engage in customer relationship management. It's as simple as that! Some thick heads won't ever learn!

    Dude, you are just a pet shop owner. You need to calm down. You are displaying Rude behaviour and mannerless attitudes along with the poorly kept fishes. You cannot afford to be so rude to your fish lovers. Accept ur mistake and learn to say sorry.

    Being a fish keeper and aquascapist I have always loved Little Mermaid. It's a one stop/shop solution to ur need in fishkeeping and aquascaping. You find genuine and quality products. Indranil and his team are well versed with products and need of customers and share good knowledge about the hobby. Indranil is experienced in aquascaping and is well informed about the plants, fishes and all the peripherals needed for aquascaping. The outlet is small but is well arranged and managed by the team. You generally find every product here related to the hobby or else you can always get in touch with Indranil over his WA number and he is super-prompt in replying you back. I have been going to Little Mermaid for over 3.5 years and I have never left unsatisfied and need not met. Thank you. P.s - the photo attached is of my tank 😀

    It's been over 2 years (approx) I am visiting the store and got the best assistance form Indranil Da (owner) no matter what . Great place to get the pet related products and live stocks . All the fishes are well quarantined which helps us to get healthy fishes. If you are planning to get an aquarium and need assistance on anything just visit the store !! Price is also fair and valid . I never had an issue in such a long period .

    The shop owner has a propensity towards pushing infected fishes. Any goldfish, exotic or otherwise , needs to be quarantined before introduction to the main tank. Additionally, the owner employ staffs who are keen on being harsh with the fishes. No complaints regarding pricing, fishes were appropriately priced.

    Even though the shop provides varied stocks and at a moderately high price, the owner can manipulate consumers to buy infected fishes . Also incapable of admitting culpabality. Not recommended.

    I bought 20 Cardinal Tetra, each cost 60rs, and all are infected; also, 16 of them died the next day. Before they are blaming me for water quality, let me tell you that I already have 7 Cardinal Tetras for 2 years in the same tank. Thanks!!

    Excellent place to buy fishes....i got alot of fishes from here🇮🇳.I am a fish keeper and a few days back i bought a power filter and it was too powerful for my fishes so we called up the manager and he was so polite to replace it.also please keep the betta in a small 3 gallon tank cause the betta kept in the glass came in my aquarium and was very sad and was hanging around the top filter all the time.But yes i love this shop and i am in love with that silver arowana than was in the display a few days back.I am planning to buy an angelfish and more.....SUPERB PLACE👍🏻

  • 2/5 Shantanu S. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is very small, although well laid out. More than 2 customers inside can create confusion and difficulty. Also they will not permit anyone with shoes inside, so be prepared to leave your shoes outside on the open pavement and shop barefoot. If it rains then your shoes will be a mess. Stocks are not much, but quality is good. However I am not patronizing this store as the shoe opening rule is bothersome and the salesman is rudely strict. UPDATE... The store owner is very polite and helpful, but he is not always available, and the salesperson is unfortunately a problem...

  • 5/5 Sayantan M. 4 years ago on Google
    It’s the best aquarium shop in the city providing the best variety of exotic aquarium fishes and aquarium products at the best price . This place is the reason that made fish-keeping a hobby for me and in a year’s time I’m a keeper of 7 aquariums. Starting from glass/moulded aquariums to a variety of filters to exotic plants to exotic fishes , it has all under the same roof that also at the best possible price. Coming to the service it’s unparalleled to any other store in the city , the owner and the staff is always their to help you out all the time with All their means . Not a fan of reviewing places but some unwanted and fake reviews by some people forced me to pen it down as the truth should be brought forward. I personally Request everyone to visit the shop once and experience yourself before believing me or the stupid fake reviews. Cheers !!! Happy fish-keeping mate !!!

    Little Mermaid has widened my knowledge about fish keeping hobby. They do it not for business but with a motto to promote the hobby and they do it with passion. Whatever brand I can think of, I get it here. They have a wide variety of fish, both fresh and marine and all in top condition. They have really high end and expensive products, I agree, but they have more than plenty options for average budget customers like myself. I am glad that I have come across this shop.

    Well stocked, good behaviour, beautiful ambiance. Can't guess about the price but it's less than online marketing. Update: Beware, when the owner of the shop isn't there in the shop, you may want to verify the price of the products. Because last time I visited they (other employees) asked me double the price of what they asked me of 1 week earlier.

    Its like an Everything Store for all aquarium needs. Plants, marine, livestock, dry items...every nitty gritty is covered. From pricey brands like Eheim to basic fish foods such as live tubifex or Taiyo, it caters to every budget. If an item's not available, the owner arranges it in a few days. Above all, they're very reasonably priced, and Indranil is always polite and helpful. Five stars!

  • 1/5 Upasana G. 8 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Never order a terrarium from their store or even a paludarium. They specialise in aquariums. I ordered a terrarium recently. The cost was a little above 7k. 1. They dont use plants fit for a terrarium. They use plants that survive better in an aquarium or paludarium. 2. They were very reluctant and nonchalant in the whole process, never being completely transparent about the plants or any of the details until asked again and again. The owner and staff are really nice and willing to help but those who dont engage in making terrariums and the like will not know the several incongruities and nitty gritties of it. Thus it is necessary to really do your research before entrusting such a big project. 3. They didnt have any prior projects to show me. They didnt show me the layout at all before setting it up even when I asked for it and not to mention they absolutely did not follow any of the designs I sent. The tank looked really unappealing to put it plainly. 4. I visited the shop exactly 18 hours before taking the tank from them. It was still not set up. I am a terrarium enthusiast to say the least and have watched several videos of them being made with utter attention to detail and also attended competitions. I got their contact through sources who also attend such competitions and never have I ever seen such a thing being made in such short notice. 5. Due to the heat wave and the light setting all the plants ended up dying within two weeks of setting it up. 6. Two weeks. 7k gone to waste in 2 weeks. While I agree it was due to the heat wave why would they have such a drastic reaction. Especially when its a self sustaining system. Now I am expected to pay extra if I want to fix the tank. 7. This is not their area of expertise and perhaps they should try and listen a bit more to their client's concerns. Its not easy to whip out such an amount without a lot of thinking. 8. The work was genuinely horrendous. I am having to remake the whole thing. Never making this mistake of trusting the wrong people again.
