face biting

[twentyleagues]

My del never did it infact only a few of the endlis did it when they were smaller. I think its cool behavior my polys are a bunch of wierdos they dont even know how to poly pile

Lol " sorry forgot how to poly".
Make sense polys would be ambush predators with the poor eyesite. Or even carrion eaters with the heightened smell and how the teeth are designed.

It is so hard to poly.

So I tried putting an eggcrate divider in the tank....in order to put the moke on one side and Pinky/Piggy +digging del on the other. However, the minimal gap (egg crate was pretty much touching the glass on all sides) was 1/4-1/2 an inch. Del ended up on the other side of the divider...probably cause she wanted to go on that side lol. Good thing the moke wasn't in the tank. I took the divider out. Any suggestions?

Can get a acrylic sheet from lowes. They will cut it pretty close. I've done this with divider suction cups and it worked well. Looked aesthetically well.

Can order a divider for ur tank.

The other option is to place a lot of plants and decor. Almost packed that it'll be ale to keep the fish busy and separate. Almost like a maze.

Just some thing that has come to mind.

Can use suction cups or cheap magnets from walmart to hold the eggrate in place

Thanks kno4te and J jaws7777 !

I remember you both mentioning the suction cups previously. but I couldnt/can't figure out where they would go. Do they go on the sides of the crate or in the crate somewhere?

the edge of the crate to attach to the glass

Yes they go on the end. Theres a groove or channel where it can slide in.

It's missing another suction cup and is facing the wrong way but you should be able to see what I'm talking about clm08k .
