Toyota has teamed up with Nickelodeon and the Animal Planet show "Tanked" for a new 2014 SpongeBob Highlander vehicle, according to the automaker.

The vehicle comes equipped with an 800-gallon custom fish tank in the backseat.

"When we talk about the size and versatility of the new 2014 Highlander, we now can add how many fish swam inside one," Jack Hollis, vice president of marketing for Toyota Motor Sales, said in a statement. "The 'Tanked' designers and Nickelodeon combined the mystery of the ocean and the fun of SpongeBob into a Highlander everyone will be talking about at SEMA." 

The tank features 115 fish, including a starfish, clownfish, pilot fish, and squirrelfish, according to Toyota.

Construction of the vehicle will be shown on an episode of "Tanked" on the Animal Planet in March 2014. The reality TV program follows the operations of Acrylic Tank Manufacturing in Las Vegas.

The company is co-owned by Wayde King and Brett Raymer. 

"Brett and I love the challenge of designing aquariums in every shape and size and welcomed the opportunity to bring living art like this to SEMA," King said in a statement. "The teams at Toyota and Nickelodeon gave us great platforms in the Highlander and SpongeBob SquarePants to create something fun and inspiring for fans." 

Toyota will have the SpongeBob vehicle on display this week at the 2013 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
