I have a 20g long that Im using for QT in the meantime till I find out what I want to do with it. I was thinking of getting some plexiglass and splitting the tank into 5 different sections. The sections would be about 6"x8"x12". Would could I use to tint the plexiglass so the bettas couldn't see eachother. I have an AC 200 on the tank could I put a plexiglass divider about 4in out from the back of the tank the entire length as a filtration area so that the bettas wouldn't get blown around.

You could talk to Stormy... she just made a divided betta tank out of a 20 long, using plastic canvas, I believe... much cheaper than plexi! If you go that direction, you could cover the dividers with java moss or other plants.

I have a similar setup going on right now, and it's working great...the only difference is it's in a 10 gallon tank...it's working great and the guys have quit flairing at each other quite so much as they did at first, though I still want to cover the plastic canvas with some java moss eventually, just haven't had the time or energy yet
