what is the best wa to go about putting short term dividers in a 6X2X2. the fish in each section would be small between 2 and 6 cm long. any ideas about the materials to use?

Perspects.....

Window type gauze (fish net material)

Glass even.....

I'd have to go with Perspects as my best suggestion.

I doubt that fish that small needs to be divided! :)

Wouldn't 1-2.5" fish fit right through egg crate?

it would be a tight squeeze, but your probably right. sorry i did not see the size on the fish before.

perspex is a cool idea but i have a canister filter and the amount of pressure would be a ***** to deal with. it would act as a dam. i like the eggcrete idea but the fish would get through unless i put window screen mesh on them, Hmmmmm.......

im separating the fish cause im selling them in the paper and it would be a pain in the *** to keep trying to find the right fish.

thanks for the tips

I use that "egg crate"(lighting diffuser) and mine only has 1cm squares. I have used it with some of my smaller fish(around 1 1/2") without a problem.
