What Are You People In The U.k. Using As A Divide?

[Fifi]

I need to get a divide for my tank, I'm in the u.k.
Something hard, plastic, with small holes?
Any ideas welcome

a hard peice of plastic with small holes in it?

why not glass? you would need 2 filters tho.
a clear (if wanted) peice of acrylic should be fine. and you could make the holes in it yourself.

At my local garden centre who sell fish they have a ready made divide for sale> It comes in a printed clear bag so is a standard production item.

I'd just get Egg Crate if I can't locate a premade tank devider.

Hi, they sell tank dividers in pets at home, mine was about 1.50 which i had to cut to size for my 60l tank, you have to put the holes in yourself, i just used a knife.

Hi. you can also make your own using plastic canvas [from a craft shop] and page binders [ from a stationary shop]

The plastic canvas already has holes in it, so you just need to cut it to size. Slide on the binders at the sides [top and bottom as well for extra rigidity] and wedge into place. You could use aquarium type silicon to attach the binders in place in the aquarium if you want a more permanent divider, but this needs to be done on a clean dry surface.
You can push the base into the gravel/sand to stop anything sneaking under. You can also use suction cup thingys either side of the divider, stuck on the glass, to stop it from sliding out of place.

These are very easy and cheap to make, so I hope my instructions made sense. I use these to separate my girlie bettas and they don't seem bothered that they can see each other, even though I know they fight when together.
