It means an actual aquarium, like a place you visit.....
Ya I agree.
If this law was to pass you can kiss the saltwater hobby goodbye.

*FEDERAL PET BAN PROPOSED* – No more Fish, Birds, Ferrets, Reptiles,
Mammals.
Do you like to own tropical fish, parrots, lizards, snakes, Sugar
Gliders, Ferrets or other exotic animals? Bad news, there is a new bill
HR669 on the table with 21 democrat and 1 independent supporters in
congress which if passed, will ban ALL NON NATIVE ANIMAL SPECIES other
than dogs, cats, ducks, geese, horses, cows, hogs, goats and a few
others. Apparently you can own a goldfish, but that is about it… no more
choice or freedom in choosing your own pet.
This is the most anti animal law ever proposed, and it is on a federal
level. If this passes, you will not be able to own these animals, sell,
breed, transport, etc without committing a federal offense. This bill
hides behind the guess of exotic animals being a threat to our native
wildlife and economy. If you look at you states laws, they already ban
invasive species and dangerous species from being kept without special
federal and state permits and government overseeing, an outright ban is
uncalled for.
The effect on the local and federal economy will be devastating if
passed. 2/3 of Pet Smart’s shelf space is dedicated to exotics… and
small pet shops depend more heavily or entirely on the sale of exotic
animals and the supplies to support them to stay in business. This will
have a trickle down effect to dog/cat owners by decreasing the
accessibility of stores that will sell pet supplies after the retail
chains shut down.
Again, this is not about Tigers and Lions, this is about everyday common
animals owned by millions of Americans being banned.!
