Default how to make a tank divider?

I'm on day 5 of having axolotl eggs, and they are starting to
turn into little curly shapes, so at last I'm fairly sure the
male did his bit and at least some of them are going to hatch.

I want to divide the tank -

snip

I thought of making a frame and putting netting over it - like
on a breeding net cage. I don't have any ideas where to get
netting or how to go about it! And I did think of some kind
of material - like stockings or something - but I don't wear
girlie stuff so don't have anything like that kicking about.

How about using nylon curtain netting? Find one fine enough to keep
babies in while letting water flow. I should think a good wash without
soap would render it safe for fishes. Maybe stitched onto an aluminium
frame made from thin aluminium bar ( from B&Q in the uk)
Anyone got any useful ideas? I've got lots of speculative thoughts
but if anyone has really done this before that would be the
most useful :-)

Thanks!

I have not tried this but I hope it gives you some inspiration.
