Summary:An aquarium can be defined as a container that holds water and is designed in such a way that living aquatic organisms can be maintained over an extended period of time.

They can be as simple as a betta bowl or as complex as a multi-million gallon commercial exhibit. When considering an aquarium it is important to contemplate where it will be located, which species will be maintained and what type of budget will be available.
