fish tank/aquarium Hello everyone,
I can't figure out the difference between the words fish tank and aquarium.The dictionary says they use fish tanks specially for tropical pet fish. Is it the only difference?
Thanks

Teacher Re: fish tank/aquarium There is no difference if we are talking about the glass boxes people keep fish in in their homes.
Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
