I would buy some plastic "E" or "U" profile. The "E" profile is shown in the link below to show you vaguely what I mean. Silicone strips to the base, front and back panes of your tank. Then you can obtain some coloured acrylic sheets cut them to size to slot into the profiles and drill some uniform holes in the sheeting to allow transference of heat. The beauty of this method is that you can lift out the sheets to open up the tank again or have as many compartments as you wish. Your Betta's cannot see each other. I use this when breeding killis of the same species side by side as the males are distracted by each other and forget about breeding.

Scroll dow to see the "E" profile.

thanks im hoping my lfs will get some in for me as im really not DIY minded!! the last tiem i attempted it i failed miserably. the only cunning thing i have done is when i bred my bettas rather than having to move out all my gravel from my tank i put transparencies on top weighed down with rocks worked a treat lol
