Helping my wife clean up at her school, we ran across this little aquarium that was being discarded - Dimensions (approx) are 30 x 6 3/4 x 8 2/8 inches (LxWxH). It comes out to be ~6-7 gallons. It does not have any manufacturers stickers, but the glass is as thick as a regular 10gal, and the plastic frames (top & bottom) are thick.
I have no immediate use for it but the unusual size caught my fancy, so I kept it.
I have never seen one like it, specifically being so long (30" !) yet so small. I suppose it could be used to raise some fry for a while...
Placing a Fluval FX-6 manual in it for the picture is very much a joke (or not!), but they just happen to be about the same height.
Have you seen one like it?

Looks like a bookshelf type stand, so not custom.

They can be good to grow plants, because of the lack of height, it's far easier to light

Cool! I am certainly keeping it.
It may become my replacement frogbit growing vat.
Cheers!

A group of pygmy corydoras would absolutely love that little tank
