Hi,

i've searched the forum and can't really find something directly related to this.

I have a 2500l currogated tank and would like to stock three different sizes of Barra.

Something along the lines of...
<100mm
>100mm <300mm
>300mm

<100mm will be easy as i can make a floating basket with a pool noodle and basket.

seperating he other two is where i am stuck.

I am trying to think of ideas that are also cosmetically nice. Somehtin along the ideas of a partition wall however the currogations may be just big enough for fish to get through.

So far the idea is some pvc box tubing and core flute with holes or some form of mesh.

Just puttin it out there for ideas or if anyone else has something similar.

I made a partition last year to seperate my SP and trout. It didnt work very well because the trout kept squeezing their heads into the plastic netting and getting gill netted and stuck.

Keep in mind, if you want to put a partition in, the holes need to be big enough so the solids dont get stuck on one side but not big enough so the fish get stuck. I couldnt find anything that could do the job successfuly.

Its in my thread here.... viewtopic.php?p=327234#p327234

Thanks for that Charlie. I actually took a look at both your builds last night. Very neat!
I liked your partition design and will be in the big smoke next week so probably go to bummings and the like to see whats out there.

Im leaning to the floating basket side of things or
possibly rectangular shape made out of pvc and reasonably small holed lattice I could give it a bottom and some legs to keep it off the bottom of the tank than solids can fall and circulate.

Im always keen to give it a go. Worth a crack right? I like the idea of different sized fish in the tank so I can harvest regular. :mrgreen:
