An animal enclosure cover may be provided on an animal enclosure (such as an aquarium) to prevent the escape of animals therein. The animal enclosure cover includes a stationary panel and one or more clamping members, wherein the clamping members are used to affix the stationary panel atop the animal enclosure. The stationary panel is bounded by a peripheral frame having opposing upper and lower surfaces. Each clamping member similarly has opposing upper and lower surfaces, and the clamping member upper surfaces are shaped to extend in parallel relation to at least a portion of the peripheral frame of the stationary panel. The stationary panel may therefore be fit on the top rim surface of the enclosure rim of the animal enclosure, and each of the clamping members may be fit below the enclosure rim with the upper surfaces of the clamping members being aligned in parallel spaced relationship to the lower surface of the stationary panel. The stationary panel and clamping members may then be brought together to clamp the enclosure rim therebetween, and an attachment member (such as a fastener, hook, clip, etc.) may be extended between the stationary panel and clamping members to affix them together on the enclosure rim. Where the stationary panel does not occupy the entirety of the enclosure rim, a door may be pivotally affixed to the peripheral frame of the stationary panel so that the door abuts a portion of the enclosure rim. The door may be opened to allow access to the interior of the animal enclosure, and it may bear a latch which can be actuated to engage the enclosure rim when the door is closed.
