Hey guys its Black. I guess that's my first PMC project intro :P But anyway, I believe I have cracked the code on having aquariums in your Minecraft house! Let me explain how I came across this discovery. So earlier today, I had been sifting through some old forums on another website when I saw this guy post a pic of his squid spawning tank
(Mind you this was TWO years ago). He said that since he couldn't get fish in his tank (Without the entity disappearing or being picked up) so he made a squid tank. He said that because squid now de-spawn when the player leaves the mob's current chunk. Well It turns out that he was correct. Until the 1.7 Beta, squid would not de-spawn like other mobs. This was most likely in preparation for the 1.8 beta, where they added deeper oceans. (Source:http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Squid) Well that was the case up until recently, when Minecraft added name tags to the game.

Yes indeed, this would give us the key to keeping any mob stay spawned by simply naming them. But there are a few catches.... This effect WILL NOT work in peaceful difficulty :( and also the fact that name tags are difficult to find in survival (For they cannot be crafted and are only found in dungeons) and could require cheating for the impatient. However, they did eventually add a crafting recipe for the Lead (Which could be an easy way to transport your squid to a minecart leading to your squid tank or if you can just make a run for it and try to hurry before the squid suffocates *Gasp*) and may eventually do the same for the name tag! (Source:http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Name_Tag)

Anyway, this is NOT A MOD and was primarily in anticipation for 1.7 where it is rumored to include sharks and other fish!

I hope you learned something and fell free to ask any questions in the comments!
