I'm planning to setup a partially planted/mostly bare-bottom tank for two of my goldfish. I'd like to section off an area along the back of the tank, which I can then fill with substrate and plants.
My question is: what would be the best way to create a barrier?
I may just make it out of plain plexi, letting the substrate show through. ...Unless I decide to paint it. >_>
If I use plexi, I'd like to create a 3-sided box shape which I can then place against the back wall. Would silicone alone hold it together, or do I need something more? And how should I fix it in place against the wall?
I've been considering the possibility of making a moss wall to cover the barrier, so that when it grows out the barrier will be completely hidden. But do goldfish eat java moss?
Any other suggestions, or advice?
