+Using Asciiquarium for Aquarium Like Animation Effects in Linux Terminal
+======
+
+There are a bunch of [Linux command tools that are more for amusement][1] than serious work. Asciiquarium is one of them.
+
+It provides a simple aquarium like animation effects in ASCII format for the Linux terminal.
+
+![][2]
+
+Looks interesting? Let's explore it.
+
+### Install Asciiquarium in Linux
+
+If you are using Arch Linux or Fedora, you can install it from your official repositories.
+
+Fedora users:
+
+```
+
+    sudo dnf install asciiquarium
+
+```
+
+Arch Linux users:
+
+```
+
+    sudo pacman -S asciiquarium
+
+```
+
+Asciiquarium is not available in the default repos of Ubuntu. So, you either need to use a prebuilt binary or an external PPA.
+
+#### Install Asciiquarium using PPA
+
+First, add the PPA for Asciiquarium.
+
+```
+
+    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ytvwld/asciiquarium
+    sudo apt update
+
+```
+
+Now, install the package and its dependencies using:
+
+```
+
+    sudo apt install asciiquarium
+
+```
+
+##### Remove PPA
+
+To remove the Asciiquarium PPA, first remove the package.
+
+```
+
+    sudo apt purge asciiquarium
+    sudo apt autoremove
+
+```
+
+Now, remove the PPA from your system:
+
+```
+
+    sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:openshot.developers/ppa
+    sudo apt update
+
+```
+
+#### Install Asciiquarium using Binary
+
+🚧
+
+This needs separate Perl modules installed to your system. Also, it will install several Perl related packages to your system. So keep caution.
+
+![Installing Perl Dependencies][3]
+
+To run the binary, you need the Animation and Curses module from CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network).
+
+Install CPAN in Ubuntu using:
+
+```
+
+    sudo apt install cpanminus libcurses-perl
+
+```
+
+Now, run:
+
+```
+
+    cpan Term::Animation
+
+```
+
+![Animation Module][4]
+
+This will ask for some configuration, just accept the defaults. Once both are set up, download the Asciiquarium release.
+
+[Download Asciiquarium][5]
+
+Extract the file. You will get a file called Asciiquarium. Now, make it executable.
+
+![Make Asciiquarium Executable][6]
+
+To do it via command line, open a terminal there and give the file execution permission [using chmod command][7].
+
+```
+
+    chmod +x asciiquarium
+
+```
+
+Now, to get the animation, you can run inside that location:
+
+```
+
+    ./asciiquarium
+
+```
+
+Or you can place the file in a [location that is in your path][8].
+
+### Using Asciiquarium
+
+Asciiquarium is a simple program. It does not have any command line options. Once you run `asciiquarium`, you will get the aquarium animation effect on your terminal.
+
+![Asciiquarium][2]
+
+A couple of in-program keys are supported.
+
+  * `r`: Repaint the animation
+  * `p`: Pause or Play the animation
+  * `q`: Quit
+
+
+
+📋
+
+Also, you can use your Arrow keys to speed up the animation
+
+#### Using Asciiquarium with lolcat
+
+If you want to make Asciiquarium more colorful, you can use it with `lolcat`. Install lolcat first using:
+
+```
+
+    sudo apt install lolcat
+
+```
+
+Now, run:
+
+```
+
+    asciiquarium | lolcat
+
+```
+
+![Asciiquarium Lolcat][9]
+
+If you need more animation effect, tweak lolcat accordingly. For example,
+
+```
+
+    asciiquarium | lolcat -p 200
+
+```
+
+![Asciiquarium with lolcat tweaks][10]
+
+This will give you various color effects.
+
+You can use the `-i` option of lolcat, to invert the colors:
+
+```
+
+    asciiquarium | lolcat -i -p 200
+
+```
+
+![Inverted Colors][11]
+
+### Bonus: XFishTank (your desktop becomes the tank)
+
+Another similar fun command is xfishtank. It creates an aquarium on your root window, that is the desktop. You can install it from the official repositories of Ubuntu.
+
+```
+
+    sudo apt install xfishtank
+
+```
+
+Once installed, use:
+
+```
+
+    xfishtank
+
+```
+
+There are several options which will help you to manage the number of fishes, bubbles etc. [Use the man page][12] of the command to learn more about it.
+
+```
+
+    xfishtank -b 100 -f 15
+
+```
+
+![Xfishtank][13]
+
+### Wrapping Up
+
+As you can see, having a fish in your Linux terminal may not get you food but it would lighten up your mood.
+
+No a fish lover? Get a cow.
+

+
+Enjoy Linux with these fun stuff :)
