Since it involves waterproofing and water movement, it seems closer to Artistic License – Physics. Your description doesn't involve any biology.

Where would this Artistic License example go? I would say Artistic License – Marine Biology, but the problem has to do with how the aquarium is set up, not with the animals themselves.
- Middle School The Worst Years Of My Life: One of Rafe's pranks involves converting the school's trophy case into a saltwater aquarium, with several fish, an eel, and other sea life, in one night. There are multiple factors that would make this downright impossible in one night. First of all, Rafe would have to seal the trophy case, which isn't made to hold water. Then, he would have to go through the process of cycling the aquarium's water to keep it stable and keep the animals alive, which takes about four to eight weeks.
