Experts believe species such as carp, catfish, and eels were raised in the oversize fish tank not for viewing or entertainment, Not just "viewing and entertainment." There is the famous story about the cruel Roman patrician Vedius Pollio who had slaves killed by throwing them into a pond filled with lampreys.

Yep.
Slave dropped a goblet, slave got thrown to the eels. Apparently that was the banquet entertainment.
