flipper Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) I have just put some divders in to a couple of 3 ft tanks for breeding and was wanting to paint the sides so, the bettas cant see each other. Does any one know of a good brand of paint to use that wont harm the fish? Edited November 30, 2010 by flipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Not sure about paint. Why not card them. Then you can remove if required. Have to say mate, WHERE ARE THE PHOTOS OF YOUR TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 You can't really card them if it is going into the water, as flipper said the dividers went into the tanks. I don't really know about the paint sorry, but I would make sure it is waterproof. Don't want it coming up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I card the dividers in my barracks with plastic file dividers. That way I have the option to de-card to exercise my bettas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanagi Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I use the same stuff as Shadoh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Plastic file dividers are a great idea! I think I'm going to have to borrow that. :cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 That's what I use in breeding tank. I have fry one side and dad on other. Going to keep dad in with fry next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I vote for the plastic file covers - easy to cut to size... slide the bottom down into the gravel and clip the top to the glass divider and it works well..... Another thing I tried with no problems was to cover the glass divider with a piece of contact (you know that coloured plastic book covering you get from the $2 shops for $2 a roll?) I wouldn't paint glass to put into the water.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briztoon Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I was going to suggest buying perspex cut to size. You can buy clear, or opaque coloured perspex to suite your need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
