I've never heard of a fish tank program, but it sounds like a great
idea.

I have seen something somewhat similar is called "Little Computer
People".  There can be some interaction - e.g. if you don't feed him
he will die after a few days.  If there was ever a game that should
multitask this is it as you rarely interact with it and you can leave
it running for days.  Unfortunately it doesn't.
