An aquarium, from the Latin, aqua - water, is defined by the
Oxford Dictionary as, an artificial pool or tank for the keeping
of live aquatic plants and animals. A place of public enter-
tainment containing tanks . We will, in this book, think of
an aquarium .as any container capable of holding water,
fishes and/or plants and being inside a building. This does
not include artificial or natural ponds outside. Places of
public exhibition will be called Aquaria with a capital letter.
The keeping of aquaria has a long history. In 1596, Chang
Ch en-te wrote a book describing how he kept goldfish in
tanks. Samuel Pepys wrote in his diary of 1665 (Lord s Day),
My wife and I shown a fine rarity : of fishes kept in a glass
of water, that will live for ever; and finely marked they are
being foreign . As early as 1853 a public Aquarium was built
at "the London Zoological Gardens and was the first public
Aquarium in the world. In 1868, M. Simon the French Consul
at Ningpo brought from China to Paris some Paradise-fishes
(Macropodus opercularis) and gave them to Pierre Corbonnier.
Later these fishes spawned in an aquarium.
