'''Fishkeeping''' is the hobby of maintaining [[aquarium]]s, usually containing [[fish]] but also other aquatic animals and plants. The practice dates back to antiquity, with evidence of fishkeeping in ancient Egypt and China. Today, fishkeeping is a popular hobby around the world.

==History==
The history of fishkeeping dates back to ancient times. The [[Ancient Egyptians]] and [[Ancity China|Chinese]] were known to keep fish for both ornamental and practical purposes. The Romans also kept fish, but primarily for food. The practice of keeping fish as pets became more widespread in the 19th century with the advent of glass aquariums.

==Types of Fishkeeping==
There are several types of fishkeeping, each with its own set of requirements and challenges. These include:

* '''[[Freshwater fishkeeping]]''': This is the most common type of fishkeeping, involving species that live in freshwater environments such as rivers and lakes.
* '''[[Saltwater fishkeeping]]''': Also known as marine fishkeeping, this involves species that live in saltwater environments such as oceans.
* '''[[Brackish water fishkeeping]]''': This involves species that live in brackish water, a mixture of fresh and salt water.
* '''[[Pond fishkeeping]]''': This involves keeping fish in outdoor ponds.

==Equipment==
The basic equipment needed for fishkeeping includes an aquarium, a filter, a heater, and a light. Other equipment may be needed depending on the specific needs of the fish species being kept.

==Fish Health==
Maintaining the health of fish in an aquarium involves regular water changes, monitoring water parameters, and providing a balanced diet. Common diseases in aquarium fish include [[ich]], [[fin rot]], and [[dropsy]].

==Environmental Impact==
Fishkeeping can have an environmental impact, particularly when it involves species that are caught in the wild. Overfishing for the aquarium trade can deplete wild populations and damage ecosystems.
