22 Contemporary Living Room Designs with Fish Tanks
Wiki said, an aquarium is a vivarium consisting of at least one transparent side in which water-dwelling plants or animals are kept. Fish keepers use aquaria to keep fish, invertebrates, amphibians, marine mammals, turtles, and aquatic plants. The term combines the Latin root aqua, meaning water, with the suffix -arium, meaning “a place for relating to”.
An aquarist owns fish or maintains an aquarium, typically constructed of glass or high-strength acrylic plastic. Cuboid aquaria are also known as fish tanks or simply tanks, while bowl-shaped aquaria are also known as fish bowls. Size can range from a small glass bowl to immense public aquaria. Specialized equipment maintains appropriate water quality and other characteristics suitable for the aquarium’s residents. Let’s see the pictures below.

This may be the most stunning aquarium we have in this list? Don’t you agree? Feng Shui interior designing is slightly associated to this list today because some Chinese people are into aquariums or fish tanks because of the luck it gives to their people; but whether you are into that or just simply into fishes, adding aquariums in your home is a good thing!
