R2D2 Aquarium is one great Gift for Star Wars and Fish Fans
Nov 8 2008, 2:00pm CST | by Luigi Lugmayr
Do you know somebody who loves Star Wars and fish? Bingo! The R2D2 Aquarium is the perfect wacky gift for your friend.
This R2-D2 holds a 1 3/4-gallon aquarium tank in his central compartment, ideal for a small freshwater family of goldfish, gouramis, or tetras.
The domed head of the R2D2 aquarium rotates with any vocal command you issue and R2D2 utters his familiar "bleeps" from the Star Wars movies.
His radar eye houses the eyepiece to a built-in periscope (ultra cool!) that provides an intimate view of the aquatic activity below, allowing you to watch your charges swim towards the food you've dropped in from the dome's removable feeding door.
The R2D2 Aquarium sells for affordable $129.95 on famous gadget retailer Hammacher.
