Water cooling pumps are designed for water, not high viscosity substances like oil. In any case it's totally unnecessary because convection alone does the job fine. Also the whole point of a mineral oil computer is that they're totally silent, adding a pump kinda defeats the purpose. I wouldn't advise it.

You'd have to find a way to regulate the temperature so you didn't overheat the fish though and it would add some maintenence since you'd have to feed the fish and clean the tank..

Disposal can be a problem, you might try calling the environmental department of your city and see if they have a household hazardous waste program they may be able to handle it as used engine oil.

Other fluids you might consider are glycerin and low viscosity silicone oil (polydimethlysiloxane fluid). I'm not certian why you are submerging a computer in it; it's going to be a big mess! If it is a cooling issues and you absolutely must use a fluid in direct contact with the curcuit boards there are commercial heat transfer fluids available that might have better thermal properties for the application.
