guppy

noun;
Smaller stature, size, or character than an object in comparison. The new meaning of guppy comes from metaphor, where guppy being a small variety of fish, popular for fish tanks, was commonly known to be the small fish in the fish tank, and therefore could be related to any ‘small fry’ object or person.
 
It could make the Aquadom look like a guppy.
Etymology : guppy. Metaphorical extension of 'guppy' (fish)
