Re: what can i use instead of glass tank?
Actually, a lot of amphibian hobbyists use large rubbermaid type tubs for aquatic enclosures. They're not nearly as pretty as a glass aquarium, but you can get a lot more gallons for your buck, and if you're just looking to set something up to have on stand by to quarantine fish, why not use a large plastic tub that you've paid next to nothing for?

Craigslist often has free tanks or really cheap ones, since your only 15 i would suggest that you get an adult to go with you and not meet a stranger by yourself.

I have used plastic containers for growouts all the time.

Re: what can i use instead of glass tank?
Id use a five gallon bucket. Ive never kept aquarium fish in one for long but Ive managed to keep a few dozen shrimp from the bait shop for a weekend.
