How it's used
Refers specifically to the glass or acrylic tank used for keeping aquatic pets. While the term is standard, many locals simply use the English loanword 魚缸 to describe the same object in everyday conversation. Using 水族箱 sounds slightly more formal or hobbyist oriented, often implying a more elaborate setup with filtration and lighting.
