Hi all
Going to be setting up a small tank soon for a Betta and some African Dwarf Frogs.
I need to make sure they can't jump out of any cracks.
I'm going to have a glass lid and I will have a small hang on back filter.

My idea was to get a normal piece of glass cut to go most of the way and I was thinking I then need some sort of maybe acrylic to mould around the filter.

Anyone got any ideas on how to do that? :D I'm trying to imagine it but I'm thinking moulding acrylic isn't gonna be very simple.
Is there a like go to way that aquatic people do it?

Sorry if that all sounds a bit of a silly way of explaining it...basically frogs go jumpy jumpy, how would you stop them getting out...from what I've read any small hole will be enough

:face-with-hand-over-mouth: Well I do feel a bit silly. It's one of those things I think I'm over complicating in my head. I'll figure out some netting over the filter attached to a piece of acryclic to butt up against the glass.
Thank you :)
