Word origin
The concept of the fishbowl dates back to ancient times when people kept fish in bowls or containers for decorative purposes. The modern fishbowl as we know it today became popular in the 19th century as interest in fishkeeping grew. Initially, fishbowls were made of glass, providing a clear view of the fish swimming inside. Over time, fishbowls have evolved in design and size, catering to different types of aquatic pets.
