Try to google if you want to know more general information about interfaces and/or Generics, tons of resources out there:

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_interfaces.htm

http://tutorials.jenkov.com/java/interfaces.html

Wikipedia, oracle and many more.

The same about Generics

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/generics/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generics_in_Java

If you want concrete help on your project, post code, share GitHub link if project is big, ask specific questions.

One cannot just infer what you are trying to do when you are saying

I'm making a simulation of a fish tank and I want to experiment

It is simply impossible.

Don't know where are you on Java Track, but interfaces are everywhere starting from 'Java Data Structures' the further you get, especially in Web Development, e.g. 'Intro into Spark' course.

IN the video below Craig introduces Comparable and Serializable

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/java-data-structures/exploring-the-java-collection-framework/meet-the-jcf

Interfaces are used everywhere. java.util.List, Set, Map are all interfaces for example

About Generics, read Wiki Link above. Very very nice article with examples
