Can I keep 2 rats in an aquarium?

I know you are not supposed to, but I'm getting 2 rats soon, and I can't afford a $200.00 cage right now. Though my big sister has an empty aquarium/tank I could use.
I was wondering if I could keep them in it for 1-2 months or until I can get a cage...
And please, no rude comments.

Yeah, that's what pet shops use. Don't see why now.
