Make your own, use some plastic canvas (you can buy this in all different sizes and cut to size) and use silicone to attach it to the sides of the tank

looking at the pink mesh! this looks well nice! I could buy some, then slot one of those plastic things! cant remember what thet are called! so if im gonna stick it with silicone, Ill need to empty the tank?

You will need to empty the tank yes in order to silicone it Also need to leave the silicone to dry for approx 24 hrs before re-filling

I wander if it will stay in place with just suction cups on each side?

Possibly - you could try it, depends on the current of the water I guess. I went for silicone as I was seperating bettas and didnt want to run any risk there would be able to reach each other, either because the divider fell or there was a gap inbetween.

Ummm maybe a little flimsy. Your looking for something more like this : http/cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-Sheets-Plastic-Can...id=p3286.c0.m14 Although thats quite expensive and not the right size.

Dont know whereabouts you are UK/US/europe? But in UK any good stationery shop would have some, Hobbycraft/Staples etc Got a large sheet for 99p in Hobbycraft enough to divide my 60L tanks.
