Tank Divider? - Aquarium Advice

Hows this???

Still allows for the smaller fish/loaches to get through to either side, but the specific fish I want to seperate can't even see each other, much less get to each other. *and yes, it is fully secure*

OH! I see... the rocks are the divider... LOL
I was all confused.

That's a great idea. It looks natural too.

That is a cool idea. I have a huge Ryukin that is a huge bully. I wonder if I can do that to him? Lol!

Excellent! I love it!

yea, the second round of pics are much better to actually see what it is. I didn't use the flash in the first pic, so that is how it looks with just its light.

THe loaches and pleco have been playing in it all night long. They absolutly love it.

Locorosa, I am sure you could do that for him. One thing though, we have a peice of driftwood in the middle of all that that supports the rocks.

How small are the fishes that can get through compared to the fish that can't get through? I have rocks piled around and I can't tell what they can or can't get into sometimes. They surprise me all the time, squeezing into places.

a few inches. I am only trying to seperate a 4-5" firemouth from two 3" severums until the sevs get bigger. I can't afford a new tank right now, can't free up tank space anymore to house the firemouth seperatly, and those dividers at the lfs look horrible!

We have been working on this for the past day, it took us about 6 hours of watching to finally cover all holes that the cichlids could fit through. Found a hole this evening that the sev could fit through, but since then, they have stayed on their own sides.
