Can fish pass through grates?  Since I dig a tunnel between my moat to be and right up NEXT to the water source, I always end up putting a grate up at the edge of where the moat meets the tunnel.  This has a nice side effect of preventing my dwarves from running way down the tunnel to pick up a rock while it's filling.  Of course, I'm not 100% sure a grate actually blocks a fish, the wiki is somewhat unclear.

To connect the tunnel to the water source, I just dig a channel between the two one z level up, which has worked out for me well so far.

From what I know, except for a few weird bugs, wall grates will block all creatures from passing through them. However, evolution in Dwarf Fortress occurs very fast, and carp can probably evolve from the floating plankton and whatnot in a short amount of time as a couple years.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!
