Aquarium Advice Freak
I am new to fish-keeping and while I have been waiting for my 29 gallon to cycle I bought a 5 gallon on Craigslist to keep a Betta.
I just finished my hard-scape and have started my fishless cycle as of today.
However, the glass pieces that go over the top of the tank leave some room and I know can Bettas jump, do I need to do something about the gaps?
If so, would it be better to buy a new lid or rig something together? I am not very handy but I can do basic easy things ( so suggestions on a cheap easy fix would be appreciated).
Attached are a few pictures so you can see what I mean:
1. The top of the tank, there are gaps in both front and back.
2. Showing how lights sits on top
3. What my tank looks like so far
