replicate their natural habitats or behavioural patterns, for the
benefit of both the animals and visitors.
Aquarium – An aquarium is
a place where fish and other animals that live in water are kept by
humans. An aquarium can be a small tank or a large building with one

tanks and also often protect species that are close to extinction.
Aquarists make sure their fish live in an environment similar to
their natural habitats. This means caring about water quality,
lighting and food.
