hmmm.... a fish tank that opens in the front probably wouldn't hold water
too well. ;-)
A long time ago Tetra (I think) made terrariums that were effectively 10
gallon tanks set on their front with a sliding glass door on what would have
been the lid. Did everybody follow that? For a while there was even a kit
you could buy to modify an existing cage into one of these. I think Tetra
also modified the plan so that it was a metal frame or something that the
sliding glass would slide in, making the cage unique from the original
aquarium plan. Around that time other companies came out with better
versions of things... but that was probably the only sliding front
"aquarium" type of cage I've seen. Lots of wooden cages are out there
though with opening fronts. And probably just as many plastic ones, like
Neodesa cages and Vision cages.
