The way I have it now, there is a chart of all the fish, and you can click on each one. Once clicked, you can increase or decrease the number of that type of fish in the tank. You can also include it in the random mix. There is a separate control to set the number of random fish.

It gets a bit confusing when a bunch of fish have been included as random possibilites, but the number of random fish is zero. Or, the number of random fish might be greater than zero, but no fish have been marked for possible inclusion.  
Just a thought..
A chart / list (icons) of all the fish. a mouse over gives the name and as much detail as you want to divulge.
check boxes / radio buttons / spin box in line with icons, columns have options, always / random / never/ number of fish (spin box limits number)
Running total at bottom of chart. If maximum in any category is exceeded error message to that effect.
