Answer

ceiling tile egg crate
Tyler,

You could use a partition to separate your fish during feeding. There are many types of partitions that you could use, including ceiling tile egg crate.

You can get ceiling tile egg crate at most local hard ware stores, and simply cut it to size, to create a nice fitting partition that you can easily put in during feeding, than take out afterwards.

Attached is an image of ceiling tile egg crate for your reference.
