OK it's all Leslie's fault! There I said it, so this part of my addiction is not my fault

As I mentioned in Advanced Betta Care, I found 2 bettas last night that I simply fell in love with

Now I'm putting together divider to fit in a 10 gallon. I'm using the plastic mesh used in crafts, and am dividing it up.

So should I divide the tank into 2, 3, or 4 sections...I'm making it long wise not into squarish sections...

Below is a sort of diagram of what i'm doing looking from the top.


So which way? I'm thinking 2 or 3...that would be 5 or 3 1/3 gallons per betta...better than what they were in...heidi

Hi,
Personally, I would divide the 10G tank into 3 sections
running from the front glass to the back. You could do
4 sections, but I think the dividers might make it
unsightly. I would use mesh that is about a 1/4 square.
if you use too fine a mesh then the debris would eventually
clog the mesh and ruin the filtration. Speaking of which,
I would put the intake for the HOB on one end and then
mount the filter at the other connecting the two with some
thin walled aquarium tubing.
