So Erin (who escaped under/over/through the divider in my 20g tank over to Livius' side, resulting in a ripped fin and SBD) has now taught herself how to squeeze under the divider. She is now in a small tank all on her lonesome as a punishment. LOL

I used it as an excuse, and went out to buy another male tonight to fill the empty half of the tank... please meet, no name! Right now I am calling him Gimpy as one of his pelvic fins/ventrals is damaged and curled up. You can see it a bit in this first photo.

And here is one of Felix for good measure...

These two are constantly flaring and at the divider. Do you think they'll be okay? I know they won't be able to get through to each other because I piled the stones up against the corners and bottom of the divider, and they are too big to fit through where Erin was going through anyway.

He's pretty! If they don't stop constantly flaring, I would either place a tall plant in that area, or even double up on the divider to make it harder to see through. :)

OoOoOo, "Gimpy" is a very pretty boy, Jessica! ; ) We need pics of all of them, stat.

I make up excuses like that for getting new Bettas, too... we have the same way of rationalizing our addictions. In fact, I have a WHOLE divided 10 gallon open now. I really need 4 Bettas to fill it. And I might as well divide my spare 10 gallon, just for fun. hehe.
