Where can i get this from? I checked homebase and wickets but they said they didnt have none and i couldnt find it either, Went to my lfs and theyre asking 7.99 for a divider!! I tried tesco and asda but i cant get it either. Where did you guys get yours from? i need two 12'' squares.

They should be available in craft stores, as they're for cross stitching. Maybe try calling around your local craft stores and asking if it's available

Ok thanks for that guys, I have a wool shop down town. So ill go check it out in the morning. Im going to divide my 15g to give 3 5g's. I would like to go with a betta in each part and something on the bottom, I saw some golden apple snails and thought they were pretty neat. Would a couple be ok in each section? Also what do they eat? Id prefer to go bare bottom with maybe just a java fern or a plastic plant or two in each section.

I saw that petsmart has a cheaper divider. I just paid $15 (USDollar, about 10 pounds UK) at my lfs. They are always expensive. But I love them, so I thow them a dollar once in awhile.

I'm definately going to look for the plastic weave things. How do you attach them to the sides? I need about 6 or 8 more.

I was hoping on getting a large sheet and just cutting it like 1cm more than all the tank dimensions so that i can just slide it and have a very slight curve. I suppose you could use sealent but id rather just be able to slide them in and out if i ever want to add one more betta.

I get it (for crafts not dividers lol) from the haberdashery at the local department store. The hobbycraft near here sells it too. Its cheaper in the haberdashery though!

Also find them in local wool shops £1.10 but also in Beatties for 90p

I use report binders to hold them to the sides of the tank, I don't sillicone though, just measure accurately and they are nice and snug and don't move. Report binders are 99p for 10 in stationery shops

The craft store Michaels has the smaller sheets. You can buy the larger sheets at Wal-Mart and then cut them down.

Just noticed you are in England... try any type of store that carries needlepoint crafting items.

Picked up the sheet today, Got a 24'' by 12'' so i only had to buy the one sheet and cut it in half. Will set the tank up tomorrow run the heater, Look for something from bettaman then leave the other space for one of clover's babies

i get mine from an arts and crafts store in town, very cheap, and the best i can find, great water circulation, i think its used in some kind of yarn art things, but makes a much better fish divider.
