Escape-Proofing the Aquarium

walmart also has plastic canvas in the craft section...if you ask one of the customer "associates" :rolleyes: in that section...if you can find one....I'm sure one would be able to show you where to find it. It's less than a dollar a sheet..or should be.
 
fiberglass screen and a dab of silicone and yes you're going to need a minimum of a 30 gallon tank for that bichir-Anne
 
You are going to need a bigger tank then a 30g for that bichir, i would say closer to 100g would be better.
 
why dont u use maybe mesh or screen material, it'll allow airflow and also block it off. And if ur worried about rust or anything use plastic screen/mesh material.
 
As I have explained on another post, this bichir is 3in long, and I DO have a MUCH larger tank that I am cleaning out for it, once it gets a bit bigger. (The tank is on my back porch as I type, drying in the sun, all it needs is to be resealed.)
 
And before anyone asks, yes, the tank is shallow (only 3ftx12inx16in), I know my fish needs oxygen. I did not use soap or the garden hose in any way. Yes, I am getting a canister filter. The only other thing in the tank will be a species of plecostomus that maxes out at 6-7 inches, the tank is large enough to support both, and currently, the plecostomus is at one inch. The water is changed often and both are fed balanced and varied diets. I have never had any problems with the fish in this tank.
