Do you know how long ornamental aquaristics has existed?
Depending on the source, the beginnings of ornamental aquarium keeping, involving the selection of species, date back to 905 AD or the 12th century.
Similarly, the date of creation of the "bowl" or fish aquarium is subject to several dates. For some, it would be in 1369 with the launch of a porcelain factory that produced large containers to hold goldfish by the Chinese emperor Hongwu.

An early treatise on goldfish breeding dates back to 1596.
