I have used this method very successfully in the past to get past that first few days of hyper-aggression. This gives the old fish a chance to smell, see & "taste" the new fish & get used to it being there. It's that first bit of time that most new fish get killed.

thanks Anthony, another great Idea. It will give me something to do with all the extra eggcrate I have as well
