I'm thinking about making tank dividers like <a href="http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=26019">these</a> ones, but was going to glue the binder bits into a frame so the whole thing can be pulled out and clipped into place elsewhere if needed instead of being stuck in the tank. I was wondering if superglue would be safe, as I can't find pure silicon sealant anywhere in town. My plan is to cut the canvas, glue the binder bits on all 4 sides, then put it in the tank and hold it in with clips on the top and suction cups on the bottom (bare bottomed breeding tank)

Any ideas? I can get a tiny tube of sealant but its like £9 at pets at home and has less stuff in it then a small tube of toothpaste.

The tank is my betta tank in the bedroom, to separate a male and female betta, if that matters :) Its planted with live plants of all sorts.

thanks all!

Canvas, did you say canvas?????????????????????
If so, be very careful. If the canvas has been chemically treated to enhance repelling water, that chemical, or any others for that matter, would not be good for your tank inhabitants.

Its not really canvas !!! Its just a bit of plastic with holes in - for some reason called "craft canvas" ! I think its used for embroidery type of thing...
