Or perhaps a circular wall mounted aquarium. Really the possibilities are endless.
Most fish tank aquariums are created with glass or acrylic, both with their advantages and disadvantages. It's really down to personal choice, plastic is usually more often than not cheaper than glass.

Bare in mind that most experts will tell you that you should keep no more than one inch of fish to every gallon of water that is in your tank.
