I need to seperate my male betta from my female betta,so I need a 10 galllon divider.How do you guys make one?I want the cheapest price because I am paying for this.(My faamily says this is MY fish)
 
I just took some projector plastic sheets from office and cut some small holes for water flow and inserted into my tank..

Low budget but gets the job done
 
I do the same thing, I just place a piece of a flat thing made of plastic or something, make some holes, and place it in the tank.

I use the clear knitting sheets and put the binding sleeves on all 4 sides just didn't have any pics on phone and I'm on vacation so found one online that looks similar. Total cost was about $6 for 3 dividers which I put in 10 gallon to seperate bettas

Thats cool! Really like the different looks to both sides!
 
This is what I made today! To protect my poor fish from over protective Jack Dempsey parents.

I got everything I needed at Home Depot.

I used corrugated plastic. I picked up a giant sheet for $5 at Home Depot. I cut it to size and hold it in place with suction cups. That way the fish can't even see one another, and it cuts nicely with regular scissors. I did put a little inset of craft mesh along the bottom and top to promote water flow.
