5 gallon tank dividers

Question
Hi,
I'm getting a black orchid betta soon and I bought a 5 gallon tank for it. I hate the idea of keeping bettas in bowls or small containers, bowls are for soup and cereal not fish. Anyway, I have another betta, white delta tail named Dave and I got him from a friend who had him in a 1/2 gallon bowl for a week. She got bored of him so now he is mine. I upgraded him to a 1.5 gallon until I had the money for a new tank (I know this is way to small). I want to put him in the 5 gallon too but I don't want to stress them out too much and I don't want them to jump over the divider and kill each other. Where can I buy a sturdy 5 gallon tank divider? Thanks!

Answer
Hi Tami,

Kudos to you for the 5 gallon tank!

I found one on Ebay just the other day.  They were really affordable.

Here's the link.
