fishkeeper
Aquarium hobby enthusiast
A fishkeeper is someone who maintains fish in an aquarium or pond as a hobby.
The term emphasizes the ongoing care—feeding, water quality, tank maintenance—rather than mere ownership: She's been a fishkeeper for twenty years and breeds discus.
Fishkeeping is the activity itself.
