Build a terrarium (a cage made out of any glass is called a terrarium), then there is an option on the "view building" for it where you can press w to make it an aquarium (w again switches it back to a terrarium). When you designate it an aquarium, some dwarf will come by with a bucket and fill it with water, and you'll only be able to move aquatic and amphibian creatures to it.
Beware though, if you deconstruct it the water stays in, but if you rebuild it later it won't be an aquarium anymore and the dwarves will come by and drain the water from it. The first captured pond grabber I had die, I thought this was the cause, but the latter three were all still in an aquarium.
