looking for a 10 long....i think

[thatfish]

hi,
i would like to put a tank on the "breakfast bar" i have between the kitchen and the living room.  due to support reasons, i think this will need to be a narrow tank.  the bar is 12" wide and only has true support for about 5 of those inches.  any ideas on where to find a 10g long or another long narrow tank?  i'm not planning on putting fish that have the potential of growing big in it...currently i have freshwater bumble bee gobies in mind.  i've looked a few places, but have only found the regular 10g's.
thanks for any guidance you can give!
joan

I have this one, got it at either PetSmart or Petco. Googled it and got this page, which has dimensions:

Looks like it might be a little wide. I remember another tank with odd dimensions here on HFB, I'll look for it and post a link.

Here it is, not sure if it's still for sale, though.

wow, thanks for all the great replies!

i have seen the bookshelf tank on the web but was really hoping to find a narrow tank of at least 10g with about a 12 inch height.  cf, i might take you up on it after i check a few more places around town, if it's still available after that of course.

No biggie....it's here if you want it, personally, I'd shop around for something bigger myself.
