Woman creates Star Wars-themed fish tank that resembles underwater forest

Aquarium enthusiast Carly Thompson created a Star Wars themed aquarium, where the remains of an AT-AT walker is “swimming with the fishes”—literally.

The idea for the the sci-fi-inspired tank came when Thompson’s brother bought her an AT-AT aquarium decoration for Christmas. At first, she wasn’t sure about using it, as she usually doesn’t use artificial elements in her aquariums. However, she decided to try something new.

“I knew that I wanted it to look as natural as possible,” Thompson tells My Modern Met. “I recalled the map Kashyyk in the video game Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order. That and the Moon of Endor from the Star Wars movies were my inspiration for this tank.”

It took Thompson around three days to design and put together the fish tank. She used a common aquarium wood called cholla to create the tall, burly tree trunks. She then used java moss and a three-leaf seed to create the mossy jungle appearance. Once the aquarium was finished, all that was left to do was decide on which fish will live inside the underwater world.
