Easy fix , and I'm sure I know what store to. Just build a clear mesh top from brs and screening materials. Allows for venting and keeps your fish in too

@dlhirst ......

Check with @jimsflies , he's the "mesh top guy" and he has mesh. His DIY is here.

Yes, I have seen Jim's screens... That might be the way I have to go on this. We need somethng new in the tank. I can build a screen with scrap pieces of acrylic and mesh. I only have to cover up about 37"L x 6"D. I can use the same mesh that keeps the herons out of my "backyard fishtank".

Thanks guys/gals!

i have some black netting mesh if you want me to drop it off at your shop Don. your on my way home from work. it has the 3/8 x 3/8 squares. doesnt cut down the light. PM me if interested
mine mostly hangs out mid to lower areas, i have seen some that like to be near the surface. cant say anything 100% here, but food for thought while picking one out.

That would be awesome "Ms. Flynnstone". I was looking at my water garden mesh and its probably bigger than the fish would be. 3/8" sounds right...

I have a green adult - same patterning/colors on its face but a lot of blue - almost the whole face, plus the striping the original pic of this one had. I've had him for about 3 years...50 gallon is too small IMO - I think 125+, but I could be wrong. I certainly wouldn't put mine in a small tank - sometimes I feel like his 165 is too small for him - he whips around with so much speed, and force. A definite favorite of mine!

If it is black it WILL cut down the light that passes through.

you are correct. clear glass will also cut down the light, as the clear mesh will too. but it isnt in any significant number as i have tested it with a par meter. maybe i am using a different material than you have knowledge of.



Let me know how it works out for you Don.
