Showing off a catch
Built purely for decoration, the Aquarium lets survivors in ARK: Survival Ascended keep live fish on display. "A decorative Structure for showing off your best catches. Transfer Creatures into it via Fishing Basket, and display them in a beautiful aquatic habitat." It came with the Tides of Fortune adventure pack, part of the Bob's True Tales DLC, and you need that DLC installed before you can learn, craft or use it.
Which fish it can hold
Creatures go in by way of a 
Fish Basket. The ARK Wiki lists the 
Coelacanth, 
Sabertooth Salmon and 
Piranha as fish the tank accepts. A few creatures fit in a basket but are refused by the tank: the 
Trilobite, 
Leech and 
Lamprey. The tank sits on any foundation, and its appearance can be adjusted from the radial menu.
