Where do you put the fish when you are cleaning it?
Actually fish should never need to be removed from the tank when you're doing routine maintenance. If they have to be then you're over cleaning and/or your tank is too small! In a healthy established filtered tank you only need to do 20% water changes once a week, the fish stay put. Constantly netting them and moving them about causes extreme stress and can kill them. If your tank is unfiltered then it's not suitable for fish.
