Mumbai, India – The Weekend Aquarist, India’s first and only magazine dedicated to the aquarium hobby, proudly announces the release of its September 2025 issue. Following the overwhelming appreciation for the August dedication issue honouring legendary explorer Heiko Bleher, the magazine now turns its focus to stories that celebrate both native treasures and global expertise in the aquarium world.
“Many of our readers wrote in to share how Heiko’s life and explorations inspired their own journey in the aquarium hobby,” said Amar Salvi, Editor of The Weekend Aquarist. “His legacy is far too vast to be contained in a single issue, and both the magazine and podcast will continue publishing stories, memoirs, and insights celebrating his contributions in the months ahead.”
