According to the initial details, the fish was kept in the same aquarium for about five years in Rawalpindi and the owner of the shop was apparently asking for PKR 200,000 for it.
The post read, “This fish has been kept in this aquarium which is almost the size of her body since 5 years. She could hardly even move around in it. The shop owner tells it is worth 2 lacs. Please share around this as much as you can because this fish needs to be rescued and shifted to some big water body or some big aquarium at least.”
