Jason,  Flammable storage cabinet source, try Lab Safety Supply, url for

These are not cheap items, as you will see.

If you have collections of fishes that are no longer in active use by your 
lab, in good condition and with good data attached, you may consider 
checking with area museums that are set up for storage of fluid collections 
and see if  and would be important additions for permanent collections.
