Mass-effect – Does the Aquarium VI serve any purpose

mass-effect-3

The store Elkoss Combine Arsenal Supplies sells an Aquarium VI for a rather large fee of 25000 credits.

I'm curious as to whether or not this Aquarium is an upgrade to the one I already own, or of it's merely made available to those who were unable to import a Mass Effect 2 save file in which the original Aquarium should be in Shepard's Cabin?

It's an add-on to your existing aquarium, not a replacement. It's sole purpose is to keep your fish fed so that you don't have to do it manually after each mission. Kelly, once properly motivated, served this purpose in Mass Effect 2.
