BROKEN TANK HELP!!!!!

[rickisrad]

[b]Help I just had a 55 gallon tank full of my fish break. I need someone very caring to take the fish I saved asap. I have 1 large 12" common Pleco, 1 clown pleco, 1 ancestrius pleco, 1 8" long really skinny pleco, and 7 tetras and 2 small cory cats . I can not afford another tank and love these fish and would like them to go to a good home. Right now I have 15 fish in a SMALL 5 GALLON TANK TO TRY AND SAVE THEM.
*******edited******** Thanks for the help

I'll post this in the OCA section as well....

go to your local pound shop (type thing, don't know if you have dollar shops over there...)

pick up a rubber-maid container, can easily get a 50g one, shouldn't be more than about $20 (if the prices are anything like the pound stores here) it'd make a fine temporary tank,

and keeping an eye on the local classifieds might get you another tank real cheap. otherwise have you considered fixing it (I just resealed a 100g 5 footer that had cracks in the base, I bought sheets of glass a tad smaller than the tank, and put them in, and silicone'd them in, leak test in 48 hours (found a slight leak, so plugged that,)

Thanks, I was able to get a hold of a 47 gallon tank combo for under 200 dollars at a local corner pet shop. Holy crap did this make a mess when it broke, it was like something you see in the movies. I only lost 2 tetras so considering the circumstances, I can definately deal with that. The fish were ok in the 5 gallon for the time being. My common Pleco was a little upset at the cramped living quarters Thanks for the ideas
