I found these neat adjustable window screen to use as an aquarium separator at Lowes while returning a some unused hardware. They are made of plastic and fiberglass and come in different widths in 1 inch increments from 15-on up. This one works perfect and adjust to the proper height or above the water line.

For some reason my male and female 4 inch Electric Blues are not getting along and the female has the male cowering in the corner and chases and bites him every chance she get, she a real mean lady lol.

Excellent find Gunner YOU DA MAN !
 
what size tank you using this one? do they come tallen then 15" ? I dont have a lowes close by maybe they carry these at home depot?
 
Great idea!
 
you just keep coming up with things don't ya gunner. i like it.
 
JUST WONDERING IF THE OPENING IN THE SCREEN ARE SMALL ENOUGH SO IF USED WITH GUPPIES THE NEW BORN FRY WOULD BE UNABLE TO SWIM INTO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DIVIDER... WHAT DO YOU THINK?
 
Its a tad wide for some reason. But becasue its ridged it still fits well and is easily braced at the bottom buy two rocks wedged to each side of the glass. When expanded it just stays put.

At the top I have the far end setting between my AC intake tube and housing. It really doesn't take mush to hold it in place becasue its pretty strong and self supported by its own frame.

It not very subtle looking and stands out ( painted black would help) but its very functional and doing the job really good, no more fighting and both get their own side for now. I didn't know elec blues were so aggressive and anti social.
