It wasn't a hobby but a way of providing fresh and saltwater varieties for the dinner table.
London Zoo opened its first public aquarium in 1853 and it became common for wealthy Victorian families to own their own custom fish tank.
The ornate decoration was often used to hide the tubes although sometimes they were covered with drapes.
For instance, the pneumatic tire was used to store compressed air in the aquarium.
Emerging countries often paid for their development by employing their natives to catch and export different species of fish.
Strict controls are now enforced to try to prevent this happening.
Nowadays it is impossible to say how many people keep fish in their home in a custom fish tank or an ordinary aquarium.
Fish don't require your help with daily exercising!
