Chopping Rena 30 In 2. Divider ? In Last Post Please

[pippoodle]

i'm getting another rena 30 bevelled front tank - 30 litres

for another betta , i'm just wondering wether it would be ok to divide it for 2 males -
managed to find a second hand one as it will match the one i have and then hubby wont mind me having 2 tanks on the sideboard

thanks Sarah x

just put a coloured piece of perspex in the middle it will be alot easier and that way the betta's wont see each other and try to fight

put a divider in and it will be fine. a black one would be best and matt black.

Modaz sells penplax dividers. We have them for our divided tanks. One of ours is a bow fronted and we had no problem dividing it for 2 boys

looking at having females in my 75 litre hex when the glass cats and ram have moved into the other tanks - 125 and 240 when they're set up
looking at a nice group of 10 ladies

He does sometimes. If not then just pm him and he should be able to sort you out.

Isnt putting a divider down the middle going to make it a tad small even for a betta?, the tank is barely 30 cm wide as it is.

Yeh but thats 40 cm wide at the widest point which is only what 6-7 cm and then it's going to be split in two so 20 cm throughout 7 cm slowly getting less wide through the rest?, i think betta's are housed in to smaller tanks as it is, and as far as i can see for no reason what so ever.

there's still plenty of swimming room
it's hard to make it out looking at the pic but the tank is pretty spacious and so i'm sure would be fine for 2 males

Ive had one of the tanks hun, and im not getting at you in the slightest i just personally think it's to small 2 divide. Isnt the rule of most tanks that wider is always better than height?, well that makes that divided an 8 inch tank at it's widest, so why is it ok to house a 3 inch betta but not ok to house any other 3 inch fish?

Also the tank divided is 4g i thought min for a betta is 5g?
