	Tips on divided 5 gallon?
Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	Here's my divided 5 gallon. It has a male betta on one side and a female on the other. Is there anything I can do to make it look nicer? I plan on adding a black background soon.

Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	I used those dividers you can buy. I looked all over for the stuff to make my own, and I just couldn't find it. I got the divider for $4.99 because it was mislabeled.

ceridwen Enthusiast Posts: 270 Kudos: 296 Votes: 0 Registered: 26-Aug-2003	Hmm - made my dividers on my 10 that I'm currently setting up hehe. Used the plastic needlepoint canvas cut to inside dimensions of the tank, and the plastic report covers (that have that piece of plastic that you can take off and looks like a long tube triangle) and aquarium silicon - and it's looking good so far. But I can't see it Added flourite and now my tank is permanently pukish brown

Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	Yellow? I see no yellow.... maybe it's just me. I got more rocks in there, and a pice of driftwood. Once the driftwood decides to actually fully sink (] I'll get a new pic.
