Fish & Aquariums Audiobooks

Much like other hobby genres like gardening, fish and aquarium books introduce both novices and experts to the specifics of fish keeping and identification. Often, fish and aquarium audiobooks are focused on practical techniques for maintaining safe, healthy, and entertaining tanks at home. Aquariums have been popular for centuries, dating back to the 1300s in China. The first book on aquariums and fishkeeping was published in 1596 in China, titled Essay About the Goldfish. It wasn’t until 1856 when a German writer by the name of Emil Adolf Roßmäßler published an essay titled "Sea in a Glass," that aquarium-keeping as a hobby became popular in the way we understand it today; we can thank the 1854 book The Aquariums: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Water for coining the term “aquarium.” From saltwater aquariums to the best way to care for your betta fish to the ecological needs of diverse tanks, these writers lead readers through the steps for raising and maintaining fish in a tank. For those not interested in at-home tanks, the genre also offers guides that illuminate the lives of freshwater fish, sharks, sea creatures, and more.
