Cap'n Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Whoops! Just scrolled through the previous posts, you're not using eggcrate, are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chloeclose Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Bettas are serious jumpers... I have a 3 inch 'bounce guard' on either side at the top of my divider. They are also extremely good at wedging into tight places, 'specially when there's a fight to be had on the other side, the divider needs to be tight to the glass.

bozco Posted January 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Nope not egg crate. These holes are so small not even my khuli loaches can get through. They are about 2mm holes and the divider does fit tight to the glass. It had to have been a jump that got him over the divider. How did you make your "bounce guard" Chloeclose?

chloeclose Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 I slid another report cover on the top of the divider and then siliconed a piece of canvas to that, it hangs over both sides about 3 inches. It also helps to keep the divider straight. Be careful the ends of the guard don't hang in the water though, my first one did and one of the bettas shredded his dorsal fin really badly on it. It also helps to keep the water about an inch from the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozco Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Thanks alot. I shall do that then. For now though both bettas are back in their bowls until their fins grow back. They really are a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
