Not sure how small you are looking for, but there was a post for a 10 gal in the charter for sale forum a few days ago that may still be available.

The person that I bought my mysis shrimp from last summer said they kept them in rubbermaid tubs (the shallow kind that people use for under the bed storage). Add some macro algae for them to hide from each other so they don't eat each other.
Just mentioning it in case you don't get enough tanks. :)

thanks ladies :)

i need to call angelo and see if he still has that tank. i thought of rubbermaid tubs, but i want whatever i set up to double as a temporary home for coastal shrimp later when the cuttles are big enough to eat those.

i guess it could be acrylic or glass, as long as it holds water.

Ace, I've got an extra 20 gallon and a 10 gallon sitting in the garage. Just tanks, no lids or anything.

wow! thanks for all of the responses! i think the best thing for what i want to do would be a 20 gallon and a 29 gallon since they are the same length. i will take you up on those kevin (bigkglen). i will give you a call to arrange a time to pick them up.

thanks again everyone :)

ok, aside from the 20 and 29 that i am getting from kevin, i would like to get five more tanks as well from you guys that posted - three can only be 10 gallon and the other two can be up to 20 gallon. i will be using these five to set up cultures in my classroom as well.
