Hello,
I need to source a large tank to hold a coelacanth in spirit. The fish is preserved in IMS. It has been suggested that a large aquarium tank might be appropriate but I am unsure about the compatibility between IMS and silicone. Does anyone have any experience of this. Also, does anyone know of a company who might make us a tank specifically?
I would appreciate any help.
Best wishes
Nicola
