history

The first fish tank was invented in the 19th century by Jeanne Villepreux-Power, a French seamstress and also one of the leading cephalopod researchers of her time. She invented the modern glass fish tank in 1832 in order to observe the paper nautilus in her lab.

Fishkeeping became a hobby only among the wealthy until the 1950s when the goldfish bowl was introduced to the market. Fish tanks soon evolved from glass-framed to glass-sealed tanks to saltwater aquariums with the necessary live rock, salinity, and filtration system.
