Where can I get them? A friend wants to put two in an All-Glass Mini Bow 5 Gallon and he asked me where he can get a betta divider for it.

IMO, 5 gallons is too small to divide each betta needs 5 gallons alone

and most of the dividers, are more for reg tanks and not the bows...you cant get a super seal unless you pile alot of stuff in the corners ...

can he get a cheap 10 gallon?

Franky_Bones

Yeah I know 5 gallons is to small and its what I told him, but he already bought the MiniBow. I might convince him to take it back but he is on a small budget and wants one of those all in one deals so he doesnt have to buy extra stuff. I gave him some links but do you know of any that would fit his budget and want for 2 bettas?

depends on how much he paid? the bookshelf tanks are on sale now ...I think they are 6 gallons for 50 bucks at petco...comes with everything!

Franky_Bones

can he put two in a bookshelf tank? do you have a link you can give me?

you can get a 10 gallon setup at walmart for $30.

Shawnie

I guess 3 gallons each isnt much different than 2.5 ...I was having a brunette moment...sorry ...

but he can get two of these for 80 and everything included

wow really? does that include everything? UH OH MTS illness again!

Franky_Bones

Yeah thats the exact same one he owns now. I don't know if I can convince him to buy two of them.

If He can't afford a second tank right now there's a link stickied in the Betta section about how to make a divider,maybe that would be an option till he can get another tank.

Shawnie

or just tell him to only get one betta until he can get another tank ....

I divided a 6.6 bookshelf tank from Petco ($39.99 right now on petco.com). I have 2 tiny girls and I think they are pretty comfortable there. I purchased a 10 Gal tank divider from Petsmart for $5.99, http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...ductId=2753067 cut plastic channels to fit my tank and used Stiff clear plastic canvas (around $2 for 6 pack from Walmart craft section) to fit into the channels (the plastic divider that comes with the product was kind of cheap and insecure looking, that's why I used the canvas). It works for me. I think you can do the same with a 5 gal mini-bow.

Clever way to divide a tank with a bow.
