So in order to close minor contracts, there are already regulations.

As long as you can afford everything from your pocket money, you can buy fish. If not, you need to ask your parents.

That is, but not that you can keep them at home. You need to ask your parents.

So it doesn’t lead to parents’ permission.

This is the same nationwide and as § 11c in the Animal Protection Act: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/tierschg/__11c.html

Without the consent of the guardian, vertebrates may be admitted to children or adolescents until the end of 16th. The year of life is not delivered.

That means you need a (written, signed) consent that you can buy animals. Ideally, a parent on the phone should be accessible for queries. In addition, it would be good if you were well prepared and can give the seller the impression that you can handle the animals properly. It is not so hard to know better with fish keeping than the average seller.

As for adults, of course, it is also true for young people that one should never buy an animal spontaneously, without having previously informed themselves about the attitude in an independent position (not at the seller). You don’t buy a horse without knowing how to keep it and you don’t buy fish without knowing what it needs.

For the aquarium? There’s no age rule. But you should still talk to your elders and buy them together. There is a lot to consider.

Or even months before, because I don’t think that parents would do this for themselves, only for their child, although it doesn’t interest them at all.
