TL;DR: There would be a new Lapis Lazuli Clownfish which can be made into a Potion of Haste which makes you mine faster and a Potion of Dullness which makes you mine slower.
Hello, everyone! As most of you all know, 3 new fish were added in 1.7 (also known as The Update That Changed The World). I believe that the Salmon and Pufferfish are great additions, but the Clownfish is utterly useless. You can eat it, but it only restores 1 hunger (half a meat leg), which is pretty sad for a food item. I thought that it should have a use, and I thought about how a lot of Status effects don't have Potions, so I thought that the clownfish should be used for a new potion, but not just a Clownfish, so I thought to myself, what would be a good crafting recipe for this new potion ingredient? I thought Lapis Lazuli (yes, I am aware that it is used for enchanting as of 1.8, but this was made before development started on 1.8). So, I came up with this, which I believe will be a great addition to Minecraft. Introducing…
The Lapis Fish! This Lapis Fish would be a new item crafted with 1 Clownfish and 8 Lapis Lazuli as shown below. It also would be able to be caught as a new Treasure. Because there would now be 7 treasures, this and all the other treasures would have a 1 in 7 chance of being caught instead of 1 in 6.
It's main use would be to make a Potion of Haste, a yellow potion which gives you the Haste I for 1 minute. If you don't already know, the Haste effect causes you to break blocks faster. It is gotten by brewing an Awkward Potion with a Lapis Fish. Creepers, Ghasts, and Withers with the Haste effect will do more damage with explosions and the explosions will be more powerful. Zombies with the Haste effect will be able to break down doors quicker*. Endermen will be more likely to pick up blocks**. Yes, I know this can be gotten with beacons, but I thought, why shouldn't people who don't have beacons not be able to get the haste effect?
The Potion of Haste can also be brewed with a Fermented Spider Eye to make a Potion of Dullness, a dark khaki colored potion that gives you Mining Fatigue I for 1 minute. If you don't already know, Mining Fatigue makes you break blocks slower. Creepers, Ghasts, and Withers with the Mining Fatigue effect will do less damage with explosions and the explosions will be less powerful. Zombies with the Mining Fatigue effect will take longer to break down doors*. Endermen with the Mining Fatigue effect will not be able to pick up any blocks.
You can also eat a Lapis Fish, and doing so will restore 4 hunger (2 meat legs) and give 0.8 saturation. It could also be used to tame Ocelots.
In conclusion, this would add 2 new potions, a food item (though I'd much more recommend Steak or Pork), and give both Clownfish and Lapis Lazuli a new use, which is why I think it should be added In Minecraft 1.8 or 1.9.

I just really, really like this. It sounds good, I don't really see too many downsides, and you've also included effects for mobs. Support.
Only thing I would've changed is the recipe (I've would done 8 clownfish around 1 lapis), but I could see how that could become OP. Still, it's up to you after all.

Thank you! I'm glad you like the idea!
PS: How would 8 clownfish around 1 lapis be OP?

I don't see how the process of rubbing lapis on fish and brewing it can make a drink that when consumed, would make you break things slower. Wait a minute?!?!? I am talking about Minecraft here! Support!

PS: You have to brew the Potion of Haste with a Fermented Spider Eye first in order to get the Potion of Dullness.

More lapis fish (easier to get clownfish than lapis) -> Easier to get haste potions and dullness potions from less lapis
Not "OP" per se, but rather, makes it easier to make lapis fish.
Okay, I can see what you mean.

Normally potion ingredients are (reasonably) hard to get.
I used to be chocolate cake.. but then new Minecraft Forums happened..
I will consider this, but Lapis is pretty rare.
