I used to use clear plastic shoe boxes for temporary tanks a lot.  You
can pick these up in a discount store for a couple bucks.  The advantage
over something like a mayonaise jar is that they have a lot of surface
area.  The disadvantage is that they can be difficult to filter or heat,
since they are so shallow.

I usually made a small hole in the plastic cover to run an airhose in,
and put a bubbler in the box.  I ignored filtering for the short length
of time the fish was supposed to be living there.
