I just got my new betta (Yay!).
But i put him in the divided tank with my other betta boy.

I thought i had enough cover (as the divider in clear) but apparantly i don't.
they keep on flaring at each other and i'm scared that they'll jump over the divider and end up killing each other.

HELP!
what can i do to add extra cover or stop them from seeing each other?

I'd love to help you but the only thing I recommend is to seperate them....I tried a divided tank and it was a nightmere...The fish just aren't safe in my opinion...Shawnie has a post right now showing her beautiful boy who was chewed up after being in a divided tank...

Is there anyway you can get them in their own place?

Is your divider glass?

If you have a temperary home for one of the bettas, try sandpapering the glass and growing Java moss on it. I've never did this but a friend of my did and he had sucess with his.

Try using an opaque divider.
As for no one helping you your first post was made today at 11:42am my time and the last at 1:29pm today my time so that means there was just a little over an hour before an answer was received. Sometimes you have to give it a little time for people to answer your questions. No one was deliberately not answering your questions, just maybe no one knew what to suggest.
Hope you don't mind that I combined your three threads. When the same question is asked in only one place it's much less confusing to those trying to answer your questions and you get all your answers in one place
Hope my answer helpful
