Things You'll Need
- Rectangular glass fish tank
- Sheets of plastic embroidery canvas
- Scissors
- Slide-on plastic binding bars
- Gravel or substrate
Instructions
Measure the width and height of the tank and cut a piece of plastic embroidery canvas to the exact size. Slightly trim the canvas on all sides but do not trim off more than 1/8th an inch.
Fit a slide-on plastic binding bar onto each side of the canvas. Depending on the size of your tank you may need to use pieces of additional binding bars to cover the whole sheet.
Insert the divider into the middle of the empty tank. The fit must be snug. If there is too much space left between the divider and the wall of the tank your bettas may be able to slip through.
Fill the bottom of the tank with gravel or substrate. Pile extra amounts around the base of the divider for support.
Fill your tank as usual but keep the water level 2 or 3 inches below the top of the divider so the bettas cannot jump over it.
