Fishkeeping

Fishkeeping is a popular hobby concerned with keeping fish in a home aquarium or garden pond. There is also a piscicultural fishkeeping industry, as a branch of agriculture.
== Origins of fishkeeping ==

Fish have been raised as food in pools and ponds for thousands of years. Brightly colored or tame specimens of fish in these pools have sometimes been valued as pets rather than food. Many other cultures kept fish for both functional and decorative purposes.
Ancient Sumerians kept wild-caught fish in ponds, before preparing them for meals. Depictions of the sacred fish of Oxyrhynchus kept in captivity in rectangular temple pools have been found in ancient Egyptian art.
Similarly, Asia has experienced a long history of stocking rice paddies with freshwater fish suitable for eating, including various types of catfish and cyprinid. Selective breeding of carp into today's popular and completely domesticated koi and goldfish began over 2,000 years ago in Japan and China, respectively. The Chinese brought goldfish indoors during the Song Dynasty to enjoy them in large ceramic vessels.
In Medieval Europe, carp pools were a standard feature of estates and monasteries, providing an alternative to meat on feast days when meat could not be eaten for religious reasons.
Marine fish have been similarly valued for centuries. Wealthy Romans kept lampreys and other fish in salt water pools. Tertullian reports that Asinius Celer paid 8000 sesterces for a particularly fine mullet. Cicero reports that the advocate Quintus Hortensius wept when a favored specimen died.〔(The Roman Way, lll - Filling the day ) (BBC Radio 4, 5 March 2007)〕 Rather cynically, he referred to these ancient fishkeepers as the Piscinarii, the "fish-pond owners" or "fish breeders", for example when saying that ''...the rich (I mean your friends the fish-breeders) did not disguise their jealousy of me''.〔Cicero, Letters to Atticus (Epistulae ad Atticum) 1.18〕〔Cicero, Letters to Atticus (Epistulae ad Atticum) 1.19〕〔Cicero, Letters to Atticus (Epistulae ad Atticum) 1.20
The first person to breed a tropical fish in Europe was Pierre Carbonnier, who founded one of the oldest public Aquaria in Paris in 1850,〔Jacques Teton, ("Archives de l'Aquariophilie : L'aquariophilie a-t-elle évoluée considérablement depuis des décennies ?" ), Revue Aquarama, 1988.〕 and bred the first imported Macropods (Paradise fish) in 1869, and later more species. As pioneer of tropical fish breeding, Carbonnier was 1875 awarded the Gold Medal of the French Imperial Society of acclimatization for research and breeding of freshwater aquarium of exotic fish and his success of introducing exotic fish species to France.〔"Séance générale du 7 janvier 1876", in ''Bulletin de la Société d'Acclimatation'', 3ème Série, Tome III, 1876, (p.36 )-37.〕
