Over the years, I've lost my share of female fish from breeding pairs due to aggression from the male. I have a few pairs of wild type convicts that I have been keeping separated, as each time I tried with "wedge in" type dividers, inevitably the one would get on the other side of the divider. I've constructed two 20H tanks with semi-permanent dividers. I purchased the clear corner guards from Home Depot (made to protect the corners of drywall from damage in a house). I cut them to fit the height of the tank, then cut the egg crate to fit the height and width of the tank. I used four pieces of the corner guard and essentially made a slot in the tank for the divider to fit into. The corner guards were adhered with aquarium silicone to the inside of the glass. So far, so good.
The last pic is my monster Rio Cabayo Siquia. By far, the meanest fish I have ever kept. He is in one tank with the female. The other tank houses a pair of wild Rio Panama siquia.
