A fish tank, also known as an aquarium, was a transparent water-filled container in which living fishes and other aquatic animals or plants were kept. Typically constructed of transparisteel panels, such tanks came in many shapes, the most common being cuboid structures.[1] Bowl-shaped containers called fishbowls existed as well.[2]
One type of fish tank was a miniaturized aquarium that would fit in a pocket and was very easy to clean. The merchant Saun Dann sold such pocket-sized tanks in his Kashyyykiantrading post, and the local Wookiees were fond of such items, which Dann considered "stupid stuff." Dann once tried to sell a miniaturized fish tank to an off-duty Imperial guard, who bluntly declared that he hated fishes.[3]
