Wouldn't that be aquarius?
                      ^^^

{rec|sci}.{aquaria|aquariuum} are all OK.  It's not worth the bandwidth
to nitpick the name.  Science can be recreational, and recreation need
not be void of science.

I do agree that rec.pets.whatever makes less sense.  I think about the
arawana in my tank, not "Mr. Fish".
