increase viscosity of said fluid

  It doesn't work that way, unfortunately. The virtual fluid represented by the LEDs does not move anything like syrup. It's like looking at a small image of water sloshing in a big tank. To get of fluid to behave that way on the scale of several inches, the fluid would have to be massive (very dense) while simultaneously gravity would have to be reduced.

    You can use two different fluids instead of water and air.

    Viscosity is literally a function of how a fluid behaves, but okay, whatever, probably a good take Defined as: > a change in shape or to movement of its neighboring portions relative to one another

No, it would just need to be very viscous. Viscosity is literally resistance to flowing, density is not, and a less dense fluid can nevertheless also be more viscous (honey is less dense than saltwater, but saltwater is much less viscous at STP [standard temperature and pressure, 0°C and 1atm], while mercury is significantly more dense than granite but something like 23 orders of magnitude less viscous at STP.)
