Word origin
The term 'fish tank' originated in the mid-19th century, derived from the combination of 'fish' referring to aquatic animals and 'tank' meaning a container or reservoir for holding liquids. Initially used for scientific research and displaying exotic species, fish tanks later became popular as household decorations and pets.
