Dividing Bow Fronts

[Just_Another_One]

Ive got a 5 gallon bow front and a 6 gallon bow front that I want to divide each in half for more BETTAS

I was wondering how people divide their bow fronts. I was thinking of using plastic mesh used for needle work and some slide binders but i dont know how to work around the bow....

its pretty much the same as if doing a normal tank

..........well no, not really. If i did it the same as a normal flat tank there woulde be big gaps for the males to swim through and kill eachother

If anyones done a bow front tank please let me know how you did it. THanks

just do it like a normal tank, cause yes it bowed but verticaly its the same (its not bowed vertically is it? its horizontal?) so when u look at it from the top its still straight, so just devide like normal, the distance between the midle back and midle front will be longer than the sides front to back, but this dosnt matter as u are dividing vertically. know what i mean?

when i look at from top its not straigt... the back is straigt but the front is concave from the inside and convex from the outside.

I gues my problem is how to go about measuring the "bowed" front in oder for my divider to fit snuggly in the middle of the tank

your dividing vertically yes? (in the middle) your tank is bowed Horiztontally yes? (bows at the sides not top to bottom?) u got a pic?, that will help alot ;P

for me

tank vary on your beta

if you have energitic then much better to have much bigger

then if you are a breder then you need bigger tank

dividing tank is not good for me... in my experience, it only make stress on the fishes

ahh, i see your front glass bows but also leans out from the top l_/ like so, well im not sure about that, maybe just fabricate the angle into what your using as a divider.

Maybe if you place the divider into the opposite corners of the tank it will work? i.e one side of the divider goes into back right corner and other side goes into front left.
