Dear Kaushikda,
Only I can say - Superb article.....
Yes type of thing generally we are not getting ....Carry on and add more to rich this aticle…..
Excellent job...Hats off
Regards
Note: I also visited some places in MP like "Panchmari" there also I have see this type Biotope environment. I was surprised when I see in jungle lots of places with small waterfall surrounding a small area of pond and I have seen lots of small fishes in a group.
One type I remember it’s a Tetra looks very similar like “Rummynose”. |

Superb Effort Kaushik.....Very Good Indeed.
It would be great if the Local Clubs near these Biotope Areas could actually do a survey and collect more information on these and other Biotopes.
Best Reagrds

"Panchmari" Bio Reserve is a wonderful place to do a collection trip... other than fishes there are lot of aquatic plants as well and mosses... |

Dr. Kaushik,
Excellent work. This will help develop the hobby in the direction of creating Indian-biotopes in home aquariums and also developing knowledge of Indian bio-topes.
Thank you very much. I have been looking for literature on Indian bio-topes for native indian fish but to no avail until this.

Thanks to Vijai, Dan , joevimal,Shubhankar,Tirthankar, Shamek, bmukh, Shishir K. Sandipan, Deba, Sujay, Abhis, Rasik Nayak, Krishna , Debarghya and Ravi for your appreciations which inturns inspired me to carry out such survey in future.
Already I have collected data of Sirpur Lake, Gambhir river (Indore),RanaPratap Sagar(Rajasthan), Bhoj Talao( Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh ).
If everything goes well in summer in my next attempt I will cover some more biotopes including Panchmari(Zero point and Hully falls),Ramsagar Reservoir,Datia District
( Madhya Pradesh) etc.
You Know this is a critical time. As per the forecast of TERI, Govt of India, in the year 2035 approximately 60% of the total species in this subcontinent will be extinct. Profesor Suresh Pachauri, the noble laureate also campaigning regarding the same and convinced Gujarat CM Narendra Modi to set up a ministry of Global warming.
So I appeal to all of you to come forward and spread the awareness to save the species from extinctions. At least if it is documented it could help others like Aquarist, Researchers, Environmentalist etc. to a certain extend.
If that happening in the foreseeable future I will be happy.
While collecting data I have compile a photo database of Native species for quick identifications and if any member from the forum want to get it, I will be happy to share it. So please send your Email a/c for the same.
Regards
Dr Kaushik Bose |

Kaushikda,
Excellent article. Are you planning to replicate any of these biotopes in your tanks. I am eagerly waiting to see your paddy field biotope that you were planning. All the best |

IAH already has such a data base in the form of Native fish in the gallery section. Will it not be beneficial if all the data including what you will compile, be in the same place? The Taxonomy of Indian fishes is one of the most difficult. The thing I know and learn't is that the appearance of Indian fishes from Fry to Juvenile and adult varies so much that I am  .
But an excellent article and I appreciate it.
Regards,
Nayak. |

That's a very good write-up, Kaushik. Didn't know you were a doctor!!
I agree with Nayak, please upload pictures of the fishes in the Natives Gallery on IAH. It will help everyone. |

Dear Dr.Kaushik
You have done great effort. This article will increase the passion for homeland fishes and plants. I also wants to develop a aquarium based on The Great Indian River GANGA. |

Dear Kaushik,
The effort and information you have put in our article is really appreciable. The nature and its various creatures are enormously precious. They are now endangered or going to be extinct one day unless serious effort is put on by us. The hobbyists like us are generally restricted to our aqarium and tropical fishes. But the native fishes and fauna are equally enjoyable and worth spending time (some have already started it). You have really done splendid job and opened a new thought for the persons like me, who was born and brought up in urban city kolkata and stayed thereafter in different industrial areas and now at Noida. The biotope on Sundarban is attracing me very much - may be due to my little 2 cents knowledge on marine aquarium.
Thanks and regards |

Thanks to Avi , Rasik Nayak, Amitda, Jeyath,Scorpio and finally Suraj for your nice comments.Really inspired a lethergic man like Me to carry out similar kind of Survey in near Future.
Avi Your Sunderban biotopes is here and assured you to come up with Siamese paddy field biotope for Betta's very soon. It is under constructions and within a fortnight the plants will be in full growth, Instead of Rice I'm using Raegrass as main flora.You will be definitely be very pleased.
Regards
Dr Kaushik Bose |
