Here's how I think aquariums work. You catch vermin fish (turtles, shad, etc.) and put them in a glass cage (terrarium) filled with water through the "q" menu.

If you want a bigger aquarium, then you'll have to cage trap those larger fish and place them in a pond. Anyway, there was this guy who managed to cage trap carp. It involved a lot of pumps and floodgates.

mh if you put a cagetrap in a channel and open it to the river, does it catch the carp? then you just have to close the channel fia floodgate and pump the water back or something
