Aquariums
In 1850, Englishman Robert Warrington built the first aquarium after theorizing that, with a combination of fish, plants, and snails, a small glass structure could contain a complete aquatic system.
Aquariums were honed, though, in the 1950s, and today, really are complete aquatic life cycles thanks to advances in filtration, water chemistry, and flake foods.
The idea of bright fish happily swimming against a gently bubbling backdrop of water sounds like an excellent home accent piece. The good news is first-time aquarium buyers would do well to think big because in the water world, bigger is easier to maintain.
Try a 20 to 30-gallon tank, a simple power filter, a water heater, and an air pump. Talk to your local pet store employees about how to set up your tank and what types of fish to put inside.
