I have a 10gallon tank divided into 3 compartments, the middle section has just the filter and heater so that each side where the betta are have it even amount of filtration and heating. See pic below.
Milligan my crowntail lives on the left and Spike on the right. I just came in after having my dinner and looked in the tank and couldnt find Milligan!!! Then he appeared and swam out from behind the filter thats in the middle section! He had leapt over the divider!
Im so glad I decided to have the middle section, I cant bear to think what would of happened if he had leapt into where Spike is!!!
If he does it again he might leap the other divider and get in to Spikes side!
But how can I stop it happening again? I cant get dividers that are any taller as they wouldnt go in because of the hood on the tank!
The water surface is around 2-3 inches below the tops of the dividers.
All I can think of for now is maybe a placemat sat on top the dividers but then if he leaps up and gets on the placemat he might flip about and end up in Spikes side anyway. What about if I get a condensation tray, Im not sure where abouts the sit in the tank other than above surface level obviously but would that stop him jumping sides?
Also should I turn the light off so they go to there sleeping places? But then Ill panic 'cos I cant see in the tank to see where they are!!
SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Only Thing I Can Think Of Is Taking A Bit More Water Out Of The Tanks *Basic I Know...But Im Not A Very Complex Person Lol*....But 2-3 Inches....Thats A Huge Way To Jump ! Or Maybe Stick Somethin On Top Of The Diveder Shaped Like /\, Like A Roof Over The Middle Section, So If One Jumps Up, It Will Slide Down ? Jus A Few Ideas, Good Luck
