For those who can't bear the thought of leaving their beloved fish at home, the WitStar Concept Car provides the perfect solution. It boasts a [built-in aquarium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-jellyfish). Considering that other pet owners are able to bring their dogs, cats and even snakes into cars, fish owners should be able to enjoy that same freedom.

The WitStar Concept Car was recently unveiled at the [Guangzhou Auto Show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-iconic) in Guangzhou, China. In place of a typical armrest separating the front seat passenger from the driver, there is a [transparent tank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sphere-vehicle). Although it might not be a good idea to leave fish in the WitStar Concept Car due to heat, cold and fresh water concerns, it is an interesting detail.
