It's more suited to a smaller species of fish.

Once a tank has been used to keep rodents in, it should never again be used to keep fish. Rodents nibble away at the silicon seal holding the tank together which weakens the integrity of the tank. The tank may still hold water, but should never be completely trusted.
To be honest I consider these small tanks too small to keep fish. The trouble with the pet trade is they are always trying to cram everything into a small box. Probably one of the cruellest pieces of equipment ever devised to keep anything is a goldfish bowl. Goldfish die in their millions in them.
