Material Required to Make an Aquarium
To craft a simple aquarium, you will need the materials as follows:
You can also add more items for the beauty purposes but this is a basic aquarium so you can get an idea how to craft it.
Sand Block
To craft the base of the aquarium you will need sand blocks. You can have as many sand blocks as you need to make the base; it depends upon the dimensions of the aquarium.
You can get sand blocks from anywhere in the world using shovels because sand is present at beaches near ocean biomes, within the plains or other biomes near water also you can get it from underwater.
Glass block
After making the base for the aquarium you have to make the boundary wall. You have to use glass blocks to make the wall so that the fishes can be seen through the wall. You can get glass blocks by using sand and fuel.
Spruce Trapdoor
You will need to make the boundary of the sand. For this purpose, you can use spruce trapdoors. To make a spruce trapdoor you will need to place 6x spruce wood planks in the 3×3 crafting grid.
Bucket
As you have to put water in the aquarium so you would need a bucket for this purpose. You can craft a bucket by using iron ingots.
Fishes
At last, when you have finished building the aquarium you have to put fishes in it. To get fish you can go fishing. You can go to any ocean or water resource near you and catch the fish using a fishing rod and put them in the bucket.

Step 1: Take the spruce trapdoor and click right to place it on the ground to make a boundary for sand bed:
Step 2: Take sand blocks to fill up the space made for sand bed for the aquarium:
Step 3: Now build a boundary wall using glass blocks as high as you want to keep it. In this guide I have made two blocks high walls so that I can fill water in the aquarium:
Step 4: Take your bucket right click to fill it with water from the nearby source:
Step 5: Now take the filled bucket and right click in the aquarium to fill it with water. You can add water as much as you want unless it does not come out of the glass wall:
