The term "aquarium", coined by British naturalist Philip Henry Gosse, combines the Latin main aqua, meaning drinking water, with the suffix -arium, signifying "a place for relating to". The aquarium concept was completely developed in 1850 by the chemist Robert Warington, who described that plants put into drinking water in a box would produce enough oxygen to support animals, as long as the amounts of animals didn't grow too large.The aquarium trend was launched in early on Victorian Britain by Gosse, who created and stocked the first general population aquarium at the London Zoo in 1853, and publicized the first manual, The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea in 1854.An aquarium is a water-filled reservoir in which seafood swim about. Small aquariums are retained in the home by hobbyists. You will discover larger general public aquariums in many metropolitan areas.
