OK I have a Empty Segrams 7 Gallon bottle, an think it might make a nice Hiding spot for small/mid sized fish. I stripped the label off an cleaned it up. However I dont know anyway to cut it (well aside from just breaking it). Anyone have any Ideas? :confused:

If you dont have a glass cutter, maybe a dremmel with a cutoff wheel? make sure you wear a mask when doing that cause it would get dusty and it may fly apart.

confused, lost, and lonely
Leave one full and put it in the piranha tank.

Most craft shops sell a cheap bottle cutter on a pivot that works well with round or oval bottles. A very hot wire and cold water sometimes work but when I try it I break most of them. remember to sand the edges after cutting the bottle.

I had done this once with a Bud bottle for a chaca chaca cat years ago an just broke the bottom off the bottle, then sanded the edges, I didnt wanna chance screwing this on up since I only have 1 of these.
