In the Fishtank 12 is a 2004 EP by indie rock Karate as the 12th entry in the In the Fishtank series. Recorded in July 2004, the EP is made up of covers of songs with critical views on American society. Most of the songs were originally by The Minutemen.

Reception

Brian Howe of Pitchfork said that "without revising the originals, Karate nudges them toward their own style-- a bit anesthetized, with a chilly precision bordering on blandness."
