    Default Colored or black plexiglass

    I am not sure if this is the correct location for this! I want to put a dark or painted divider in a 2.5gal freshwater aquarium to separate my daughter's Bettas. I want to use an opaque or obscured piece of plexiglass between the sections as I do not believe constant agitation between the Bettas is good for them. Any suggestions on either where to buy or could I paint a clear piece, if so, with what that would be non-toxic?

    im pretty sure you can get frosted plexi from Home Depot if not you can scuff it up your self so that it looks frosted. Then it will kinda have a clear appearance but they wont be abot see eachother.

    Thanks to Ace, the piece fits and I did scuff it up with a palm sander to blur the reflection.
