LEGO's Fish Tank Gets Even More Realistic with New Filter GWP

LEGO's clearly having a proper go at making their aquarium builds as realistic as possible. The latest addition is the Fish Tank Filter & Fish Food (5009823), a 177-piece gift with purchase that you can snag when buying the Icons Tropical Aquarium (10366) between 13-19 November.

So much thought has gone into the details here. The filter sits outside the main tank - just like a real aquarium setup - with an intake tube and water spill positioned inside. There's even a cheeky little fish that's somehow found its way into the filter housing, which is the sort of touch that makes you smile when you're building. Chuck in a box of fish food decorated with a hungry LEGO fish, and you've got a proper aquarium ecosystem going.

The timing suggests LEGO's building up their aquatic theme quite deliberately. There's also mention of another Icons Fish Tank (5009626) coming as an Insiders Reward, which points to them really doubling down on underwater builds.

For anyone with kids who are mad about marine life, or adult builders who appreciate those extra realistic touches, this feels like a worthwhile addition. The age recommendation of 10+ seems spot on - it's detailed enough to engage older kids but not so complex that it becomes frustrating.

Just remember it's while supplies last, so if you're already planning that aquarium purchase, don't hang about too long.
