One thing to keep in mind is the metal from the drain. If its rusty then it may leech rust into the tank. If its still nice and shiney I think it would be okay as long as all the soap and stuff has been sufficiently rinsed off. at least temperature matching for water changes would be a piece of cake

Talking about ghetto lol.....
 
If it was up to me id do a swamp like setup and do red eared sliders. But a swamp setup would be cool for fish too. Other suggesions would be natives ora pair of oscars maybe? Just sugestions because bathtub tanks arnt too common....... O well only on mfk

Is it a claw foot tub? I have never heard of any tub that is less than two feet wide but anyhow,I am no fan of unnaturally colored gravel but the right color might actually look nice if the tub is white.I would put a koi or some comets in there.
