One of my favorite features in Terraria is the ability to capture critters and display them. My personal favorite being the fish bowl, I got the idea that it could be neat to combine the idea of the the fish bowl with waterfall blocks. I've created an animation example of what these blocks could look like.
The animation shown above would only be shown on builds that are 3x3, as for larger aquariums it could be interesting to see other aquatic creatures such as crabs and angler fish show up. The animations for different fish could be triggered once the aquariums are a certain size, determined by the width of the build
3x3 = Goldfish animations
3x6 = Crab/Squid/Snail/Jellyfish animations
3x9 = Angler fish/Piranha animations
I thinking they could either be obtained via crafting or as a quest reward from the angler.
For crafting, the recipe would require 9 waterfall blocks and 1 goldfish, which would allow you to make the smallest possible aquarium. These blocks could make for some unique builds but I feel that they would really shine when made into walls. The wall animations would follow the same rules as the block animations, with the width determining the animations that can play.
As for Lava and Honey aquariums, they could show the fish caught in their respective liquids, and would follow all the same rules as water aquariums.
Feel free to criticize and leave suggestions, I only have the one animation as of now, so any sprite work would be greatly appreciated.
