Diy tank divider?

Anyone have any ideas on how I can keep my 2 angels separate in a 20 gallon?

you could get some eggcrate and cut it to size

 

[Bbush]

Thanks! I may try that. I probably need to rehome some of my angels. I have 5 & only 2 tanks.

are you starting to see some pretty bad aggression?

 

[Bbush]

Sorry, yes! My pinoys look like hell unless they are in a tank by themselves ... Or @ least not w/ any other angels.

This is what I did in a ten gallon tank to separate my bettas. It works super well and it looks nice too. It's just craft canvas cut to size with black poster hangers on either end to keep it upright and straight. Can tighten it once it's in by pulling the canvas from the poster hangers a little bit. Works like a charm. Good luck

Sorry pictures didn't upload right!

 

[Bbush]

Awesome! Where did you get the materials?

 

[alyxandria]

The canvas I found at a local craft store and for the poster hangers it got them near all the rolled up posters in walmart! Cheap too

(I'm ironically at a craft store as we speak hahah)

K. I got the goods from Wally World. I'll post a pic when I get it fixed up. Thanks.

 

[alyxandria]

Awesome

How did you get the top to stay in place?

 

[alyxandria]

I pulled the canvas a little bit out of the top of the poster holders to make sure that it fit snugly.

 

[Bbush]

Bingo!

 

[alyxandria]

Awesome!! Glad it worked for ya

I think my syno cat was the one bullying my angels. I thought they were attacking each other. Funny because I got them at the end of last summer, & I'm just now figuring that out!
