Mine used to climb up the water bottle or stand on the edge of the food bowl and jump to hang on to the side of the tank. You just need a good lid for the cage we used to put a heavy text book or rock ontop to make sure he couldnt get out

as long as it has a lid i think it will be ok, hamsters are 'escape artists' and escape out of allot of cages, many people ask, how can i find my hamster but this is usually because the cage isn't secure or the hamster can just escape.
tanks have good and bad points, they are quite high so its not likely to get out, they are easy to clean, they are generally un-hygenic than cages as it gets warmer in them alowing microbes to spread, they don't provivde much ventilation which is bad for them.
i think you should get a high tank or something i dont know, tanks are generally good with holding small animals because they are normally quite high, i suggest a higher one or ask a pet shop for a suggestion.
i hope i helped

them hamsters can jump out of a 10 gallon fish tank i started putting books on top of mine to keep them in

if you can make a wire top with like- a wood frame to go on top that should do the trick.

Hamsters are very crafty escape artists. Put something heavy on the lid of the fish tank. If it doesn't have a lid, that's a bad thing. It would have a wire grated lid.
