Our story
We began as Aqua Life Aquarium: a shop for fish, plants and everything a tank needs.
Over time the work changed. More of it became designing and building tanks for people, looking after them, and making our own products instead of only selling other people's. And it started to reach past the aquarium, towards terrariums, paludariums and, in time, aviaries. The old name no longer covered what we do.
So we chose Vasundhara. It means the earth. That is what we try to bring indoors: a small, living piece of it, looked after properly. It is the same studio and the same care, under a name with room to grow.
What we do today
Right now our work is aquariums. We sell healthy fish and plants, with the wood, stone, equipment and food that go with them, and we design, set up and maintain tanks.
Every fish and plant in the shop lists the water it needs, the tank size it suits and what it can live with, so you can tell whether it is right for your tank before you buy.
- Livestock & plantsHealthy fish and aquarium plants, with care specs and tankmate advice for each.
- Our own rangeProducts made by the studio, with more on the way.
- ServicesCleaning, setup, aquascaping, fish treatment, hosteling, terrarium and paludarium builds.
- Our workTanks and living worlds we've built for homes, offices and cafés.
Our own range
Our main focus now is a full shop built around our own products: lights, fertilisers and the other parts a tank depends on.
Some are on sale already. Our team is working on the rest, and each one joins the shop when it is ready.
What's coming
Terrariums, paludariums and aviaries are next. Each one opens in the shop when we are happy with it, and not before.
If one of them interests you, ask below and we'll email you the day it opens.

How we look after livestock
Fish, shrimp and snails are quarantined in the studio before they are sold, so what reaches you is healthy.
Live orders are sent out only on set days of the week, so nothing spends a weekend in a courier depot. They travel in oxygen bags inside an insulated box.
When your parcel arrives, record a short video as you open it. If anything has arrived unwell or damaged, send it to us on WhatsApp. We look at every case and put it right.
What we stand for
- Honest adviceIf a fish won't suit your tank, we'll say so, even when it means a smaller order.
- Healthy stockNothing is sold until it has been through quarantine.
- Real stockThe shop shows what is in the studio right now, and updates as things sell.
- Help after the saleAsk us on WhatsApp whenever something about your tank worries you.
