Moghoppers are [AMPHIBIOUS]. Besides, aquariums can only be made from glass, and the Elves aren't advanced enough to make stuff out of glass.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Still ify on whether that should work.

Though I suppose a fish needing water(moisture to survive) is hardly more unrealistic than not eating.

That's what I thought when I read the title too.
In fact, the only reason I even opened this tab was to make that post..  But you beat me to it :X

Eh, it's been summed up already.
Moghoppers are not truly a fish.

I think I'd be more worried if, in the process of my usual elf-vivisections, I did find a fish inside.

It turns out that the elves are merely nonsentient vessels of flesh and blood, operated internally by a secret army of extraterrestrial mind-controlling moghoppers that swim into the brains of their victims, and from there attempt world-conquest. The elves eat corpses so their parasitic masters can feast on the delicious cranial matter inside.

Moghoppers stealthily sneak into the fortresses of dwarves and attempt to take them over - thus resulting in moods. Usually the affinity of the dwarf for art is enough to overcome the moghopper's attack, but sometimes the dwarf falls victim to the moghopper, and as a result becomes insane, suicidal, or bent on achieving world conquest by mass murder of all nearby sentient beings.

When an elf is killed, the moghopper inside is so deeply embedded in the elf's brain that it can easily be mistaken for part of the corpse. The reason why this is so is technical: beings cannot drop other living beings upon death - when this feature is implemented, your elves will indeed properly contain fish.
