Wow? Those are peacock bass, if you couldn't tell. If you're not handy enough to cut eggcrate to fit, most pet stores carry dividers.

We've toned the aggression down quite a bit and don't have ANY of the tanks divided at the moment...The fish in the picture have moved in with my 20" aro and another pbass about the same size. Egg crate also makes great filter parts....tank tops...I even used some when I made my testing kit...lol

or instead of egg crate use a plexiglass a little expensive than egg crate but look's much better and will not hurt or damage your fish available in Lowe's and Homedepot too just measure the inside of your tank and let them cut it labor is free anyway.
