From Bad to Worse :(

[jayclarke]

Since my growouts hit 8-9" Ive had to move them to a sectioned off (using Egg Crate) part of the main tank.

I made the mistake of leaving a small gap at the top of the divide and one of the Pleios jumped over and was bitten
clean in two by the 17" Vulture Cat

I have now increased the height to leave no gap but somehow the big 15" Bass smashed through and actually snapped a
cable tie leaving a small gap at the bottom...... unfortunitly my 9" Xingu got through and was tore apart

I am deverstated, Ive lost two of my favorite fish.
Ive been so up the wall setting up a reef tank Ive failed to look after my prize Cichla!

Im wounded

Sorry for your losses. Divider can be a tricky part of the game...especially when big cats are involved.
