Help me find a lid...

[nicolea]

So we got my daughter a Betta .I have him set up in a 2.5 gallon tank with a heater, but it needs a lid. It isn't a normal shaped aquarium, it has a wave to it. I'm at a loss for what I can use as a lid. I don't want him to jump out. He keeps going to the top and creeping me out . Any suggestions would help.

Use saran wrap for now. Get a piece of glass custom cut to fit the top.

I got a plastic folder and cut to size. It cant be too thin though :)

Ok. I like those ideas. I was worried that glass or plastic would smother him...

nah. air will get through. and even if it doesnt. betta fish gets shipped with an inch of water and an inch of air. :P they can live a week just off that bubble.
