'''Aquariums''' are a type of object that allow Sims to own pet fish. They can be bought in [[buy mode]] (or [[Build mode (The Sims 4)|build mode]], in ''[[The Sims 4]]'') and have appeared throughout [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]].

==The Sims==
In the original release of ''[[The Sims]]'', the only way Sims could have any sort of pet was to have the '''Poseidon's Adventure Aquarium'''. As long as the fish were fed daily, and the tank was kept clean, the fish would live indefinitely. The ''[[Hot Date]]'' and ''[[Superstar]]'' expansions added large 1x3 aquariums, but these were purely decorative and did not require maintenance. ''[[Unleashed]]'' added a goldfish bowl that functioned similarly to the original aquarium, though it treated the fish as a [[small pet]] that had to be purchased separately while on a [[community lot]].

{{Infobox object
|name = "Manila 1000" Marine Aquarium
|desc = Dwindling tropical fish populations got you down? Then join the burgeoning "Adopta-Reef" home aquarium program. In exchange for each GENEROUS contribution, each member receives a 1000-gallon, fully-systematized community tank, stocked with exotic and endangered Indo-Pacific fish and fauna. So whether you enjoy captive animals at home, or like to flaunt them in public, make the Manila 1000 your good deed for the year!

===Classic Goldfish Bowl===
{{Infobox object
|name = Classic Goldfish Bowl
|desc = Goldfish have been considered the training ground for pet ownership since time began. This is pet care for the minimalist, but do not be fooled by the fish's small size. Goldfish require constant attention so that they do not choke on algae-laden, oxygen-depleted water, resulting in the well known belly up position. Be careful with your fish, or it could be the kid's first experience with a death in the family.<br><br>Note: Fish not included

===Aqua-Rich-ium===
{{Infobox object

|desc = This sophisticated aquarium is designed to impress, and it shows. Imported seaweed and fronds help create a homey environment for the fish, who have been hand-selected from the waters of the Caribbean. A sophisticated custom built life-support system keeps the water at exactly the correct pH, salinity, and temperature for each species in the tank.

==The Sims Bustin' Out==
''[[The Sims Bustin' Out]]'' features two aquariums: a regular aquarium that requires regular feeding, and the "Manila 1000" Marine Aquarium that is self-sustaining, unlocked by upgrading the kitchen at [[Tinsel Bluffs]].
==The Sims 2==
In ''[[The Sims 2]]'' base game, the only way Sims could have any sort of pet was to have the '''Aquabox Five-Gallon Aquarium'''. The ''[[The Sims 2: Pets|Pets]]'' [[expansion pack]] added a 1x3 saltwater aquarium called '''Mr. Maritime''', and changed aquariums so that [[cat]]s could watch them. When bought, these aquariums are empty, and can be stocked by clicking on them and selecting the "Restock" option. Stocking the Aquabox costs §35, while stocking Mr. Maritime costs §300, and Sims may stock them autonomously. The fish must be fed every 48 hours, or they will die. Sims can feed the fish as often as they like, although overfeeding the fish will dirty the tank faster.
Unlike ''The Sims'', Sims in ''The Sims 2'' will not react when fish in an aquarium die, and the game will not give the player any notice that the fish have died. When told to restock the aquarium, Sims will scoop the fish out of the tank, take them to what they consider the nearest toilet, and flush them away, then return to the tank and add new fish, for which they will be charged.
''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life|Apartment Life]]'' added a large 4x4 aquarium, which was primarily decorative and did not require maintenance, although Sims and cats could still watch it. It is also by far the most valuable modestly-sized object in the game.
Aquariums are considered a [[decorations|decorative]] object and are located under said category in buy mode.
===AquaBox Five-Gallon Aquarium===
{{Infobox object
|name = AquaBox Five-Gallon Aquarium
|desc = Feed fish. Watch them swim in circles. Watch fish watch other fish swim in circles. Watch the fish watch each other. No doubt about it, Sims love fish. What could possibly be so entertaining about watching a simple life form go about it's{{sic}} business while occasionally feeding it? EVERYTHING, that's what! The AquaBox Five-Gallon Aquarium is ideal for freshwater or saltwater fish, so go crazy! Get an aquarium, and get fish! (Dr. Vu's sunken treasure refrigerator contains no treasure)

|desc = Why spend the time, energy and expense to enjoy the beauty of the sea when you can bring it into the home with the "Mr. Maritime" saltwater aquarium? Any room is enhanced by the rare beauty of exotic reef fish and corals, and all you have to do is feed them regularly, clean frequently and restock them when the unthinkable happens. You can't do all that with the ocean! Fish guaranteed to live as long as they survive.

In ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2'', aquarium fish were not separate objects. In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', however, they are. Fish,
If fish are not fed daily, death music will play and the fish will die of starvation (although the Grim Reaper doesn't come). In some games, the fish tank can also turn green to warn the player that the fish need feeding.

==The Sims 4==
In ''The Sims 4'', aquariums allow Sims to own pet fish. Aquariums can store fish caught from [[Fishing (The Sims 4)|fishing]], but there is also the option of buying fish by clicking on a bowl in [[live mode]] and selecting "Purchase Fish...". Fish that can be purchased in this way are a goldfish (for §20), a guppy (for §15) and a tetra (for §25). The Gumber Fesh Bow and The Boneyard bowls were part of a Trick or Treat Challenge in 2015, and they also have unique buyable fish that are not available in other aquariums.<ref>https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/news/trick-treat-challenge</ref>
Fish placed in small aquariums can be named, but do not need to be fed or cleaned up after. Large aquariums can store up to six fish.
