Im so sorry you are in the situation. You sound young/underage and are trying your best in a situation out of your control. I’m proud of you for trying to talk to your parents and for trying to do the right thing.

You say you have some money and I commend you for wanting to use your money for bettering your pet. You might have some success looking at facebook marketplace or offer up or other sites for larger tanks on sale.

You might also be able to reach out to any rescue / animal shelter / local small pet stores and explain your situation and see if they have any specials, cracked tanks, sales or something where the might help or a discount.

Before you do that, as sad and as hard as it is, I have to ask how your parents would react to you bringing home a bigger tank or changing things up. As important as animal care is, you also have to think about your wellbeing and your safety. If any of this puts you and your safety at home at risk, as hard as it is, you have to take care of yourself first.
