🌊 Conservation Corner

The aquarium hobby and conservation can go hand in hand. At Little Mermaid, we only stock captive-bred or sustainably sourced species.

🐟
Endangered
Hump-backed Mahseer
Once the most prized sport fish in India's rivers, now critically endangered due to overfishing and habitat loss in the Western Ghats.
🔴
Critically Endangered
Red-lined Torpedo Barb
Endemic to Kerala's Chaliyar River. One of the most threatened freshwater fish in India — habitat destruction has reduced its population by 80%.
🦈
Vulnerable
Ganges River Shark
A rare, critically misunderstood species native to the Ganges river system. Fewer than 50 confirmed individuals remain in the wild.
🤝
Our Pledge
LM's Commitment
We never sell wild-caught endangered species. All our Discus, Angels and rare fish are captive-bred. Ask us about the source of any fish — always.
