Well, my molly gave birth last night, and this morning I could not find a single baby molly in the tank :| It is as I feared- they have been eaten, probably by my barbs, black skirts and/or gourami. I am hoping that there may be one or two survivors hiding but I'm not getting my hopes up.
I want to see if I can save some from her next drop. Well, another tank is out of the question, and so is a breeding net (Mollies are much too big, it would stress her too much) So the only option I can see is a tank divider. I could move her when she's about to give birth and then raise the babies.
So I found two online. Has anyone had any experience with one of them?

Or of course I could try to make one- I read something about crafting one out of the things you get in a craft store for needlepoint and fishing line.
Has anyone had any experiences with tank dividers and can help me?
