Make shift separator? - Aquarium Advice

Could i use a tup-a-wear? lid as a separator in my fry net. It already has four fry but my platy is about to drop fry.

You can't just put them together?

I'd say give it a go! Or maybe a piece of acrylic plastic?
But tuperware lid should be ok, as long as you rinse it enough to make sure there isn't any more soap on it or anything.

Tupperware (correct spelling, [acronym:5aa59a030f="By the way"]btw[/acronym:5aa59a030f]) works great as long as it's new and rinsed well.
