I had this magnificent beani in a 75 with a grammodes. The beani was 2 inches while my grammodes was 3 inches. I am making this thread because I don't want anyone else making the same mistake with these cheap stupid Topfin dividers! Here is the divider I used(Below).

I think my grammodes might of pushed over the divider because when I came home from work the divider was tilted sideways. These dividers are not strong enough to hold a 3 inch fish? It is ludicrous.
Agressive CA cichlids need strong dividers or else they will push it over and kill...

In this picture I was shocked, how my grammodes dragged the body into his cave.

I learned my lesson, not to ever trust a Grammodes or Topfin.

This just breaks my heart man. I'm so sorry. I hope your able to get a hold of another. I have to agree with that those dividers are just aweful and i stopped using them a few years ago. I figured how mine got through mine. Some how i missed moving a rock and he dug around it and was able to get under the divider. Smart fish but had a bad ending for him
 
извините человек, я надеюсь, вы найдете еще ​​один.

Sorry man, I hope you find another one.
 
Im sorry man. Those dividers do suck... Mine used to get loose from the current of the powerhead only. U can make a 100x better one using egg crate.
 
The only downfall of egg crate is if the fish are really going at each other they can scratch up their faces on it. Sheets of acrylic with holes drilled in them work too.
