Aquarium

An aquarium (plural: aquariums or aquaria) is a vivarium of any size having at least one transparent side in which water-dwelling plants or animals are kept and displayed. Fishkeepers use aquaria to keep fish, invertebrates, amphibians, aquatic reptiles such as turtles, and aquatic plants. The term, coined by English naturalist Philip Henry Gosse, combines the Latin root aqua, meaning water, with the suffix -arium, meaning "a place for relating to". The aquarium principle was fully developed in 1850 by the chemist Robert Warington, who explained that plants added to water in a container would give off enough oxygen to support animals, so long as their numbers do not grow too large. The aquarium craze was launched in early Victorian England by Gosse, who created and stocked the first public aquarium at the London Zoo in 1853, and published the first manual, The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea in 1854.

An aquarist owns fish or maintains an aquarium, typically constructed of glass or high-strength acrylic. Cuboid aquaria are also known as fish tanks or simply tanks, while bowl-shaped aquaria are also known as fish bowls. Size can range from a small glass bowl to immense public aquaria. Specialized equipment maintains appropriate water quality and other characteristics suitable for the aquarium's residents.

Aquarium (Aqua album)

Aquarium is the debut studio album by Danish-Norwegian band Aqua. The album was released in Scandinavia on 26 March 1997 and in the United States on 9 September 1997. Although the group had been together for three years under their original name Joyspeed, their only release under that name was a single called "Itzy Bitsy Spider". The album is best known for including the successful singles "Barbie Girl", "Doctor Jones" and "Turn Back Time", the first of those being a huge hit across the globe. (The album was preceded by the two singles "Roses Are Red" and "My Oh My", with the latter re-released in 1998.)

The album's third single, "Barbie Girl" brought the group to international attention after reaching number one in both Denmark and Norway, as well as across Europe and in Australia and New Zealand. It would later peak at number 7 in the US. Its success helped the album reach number one in both the group's home countries, and make the top 10 in the UK and US. While not selling as highly "Barbie Girl", the album's fourth single "Doctor Jones" was released in late 1997/early 1998 and became a number one in Denmark, Norway, Australia and the UK. "Turn Back Time" would later give the group their third consecutive number one single in the UK, despite only reaching number 16 in Denmark. The final single, "Good Morning Sunshine" failed to chart highly and was only released in select regions like the earlier "Lollipop (Candyman)", the group's only other song to chart in the US. The album has sold 14 million copies worldwide.

Aquarium (Buckethead album)

Aquarium is the ninety-fourth studio album by guitarist Buckethead, and the sixty-fourth installment of the Buckethead Pikes Series.

The album was announced on June 5 on two limited edition formats to be released on July 7. The first format consists of 300 copies of an untitled white album signed by Buckethead himself.

The second version was only offered until June 12 while the first version lasted until copies sold out. The album was intended to be released on July 7, but was delayed to July 16.

A digital version was released on July 21 which included the official album title, cover, and track names.

A standard edition was announced but has not yet been released.

    Aquarium

    by: Haken

    Just another day sitting by the river
    As February fades.
    I was fishing for my dinner
    When something caught my eye
    In my peripheral vision.
    Have I lost my mind
    If I believe in what I'm seeing?
    Eyes from around the world
    Stare through the glass
    Of my aquarium.
    Line up to see the girl,
    Blessed by the curse
    Of the aquarius.
    Freak of nature, pay to see her
    Eyes surround her like a fever.
    Free me master, see me shiver,
    Put me back into the river.
    I won't tell a soul,
    But I could make a fortune,
    All those empty years of staring into my reflection.
    I could bide my time, but I can't keep a secret:
    She's the great discovery of the 22nd century.
    Eyes from around the world
    Stare through the glass
    Of my aquarium.
    Line up to see the girl,
    Blessed by the curse
    Of the aquarius.
    Fortune and fame,
    She's the freak of the day.
    Only you made a name for yourself,
    Then fell in love.
    After all that he's done
    To her plan that is destined to fail.
    Oooh, they hit it right off.
    (She freaked you out)
    Eyes from around the world
    Stare through the glass
    Of my aquarium.
    I've seen the girl
    Blessed by the curse
    Of the aquarius.
    Freak of nature, pay to see her
    Eyes surround her like a fever.
    Free me master, see me shiver,
    Put me back into the river.
    Eyes surround me like a prison,
    Heart is beating, you have listened.
    Free me master, see me shiver,
