    I believe they where $2.00 and they always arrived alive.

    I have a work hut filled with antique tanks from my hubby's father. The saltwater ones look crazy!

    I had a 10 gallon with a stainless steel frame that my stepdad gave to me. Not sure if it's in the attic or if I trashed it because it definitely leaked. I think (hope) it's in the attic.

    No... First you must test if he is a witch by putting two pieces of asphalt on his feet, throw him on a lake and see if he drowns.
    If he floats he will be indeed be a witch!

    I actually have one of those metal thing tanks. ( its actually at my college lol but I'm in charge of them)...
