🇬🇧 Aquarium meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

An aquarium is a clear box or tank, usually made of glass or plastic, that is filled with water so people can keep and watch fish and other water animals. It is like a tiny underwater world where fish can swim, plants can grow, and you can look through the glass to see everything without getting wet. Aquariums can be small and sit on a table at home, or they can be very big in special buildings where many people visit to see sharks, turtles, and other sea creatures.
