Never use vinegar in your corals because even if you rinse it off parts of vinegar will remain and it will burn the slime off your fish and peel away their skin then they die because vinegar is acid.
Yes you can, but you must make sure you rinse the tank extremely well to get rid of the soap residue so it will not harm the fish. you can also use a mixture of water and vinegar to clean the tank which will clean it but not be harmful for the fish after rinsing.
Normal rocks are not healthy for gold fish. Although you can use them as long as you clean the rocks before you put them in your fish tank. There are lots of harmful things on rocks that can get your fish really sick, if you have expensive fish your best bet is to use the rocks that you get from your local fish store. I had some of the same type of fish you had and i did not listen to someone telling me the same thing I'm telling you and all of my fish died i would not want the same thing happening to you. I wish you luck on your fish tank
Scoop all your fishes to another tank or tub of water and clean the fish tank just as you would normally without the fish
ok for a typical fish tank you will need a clean glass or plastic marbels or rocks. get a small plastic plant or other dec. to put in. you need dec. because fish like to hide. clean tank every 2 weeks or so. this answer is mainly for goldfish,betta & other small fresh water fish.
Maybe, it depends on what kind of rocks..... some may be too rough for your fish and hard to clean. Try to get smoothish rocks so they are easy to clean. Steps to cleaning the rocks 1. soak rocks in HOT water for about 5 min. 2. apply a pea size dot of soap in the warm water 3. add some more warm water to make it bubble 4. scrub the rocks thoroughly for about 20 min. 5. rinse the rocks off very well with warm/hot water until the soap is gone the hotter the water, the better put fish in another bowl with room temperature water... clean out the fish tank out more ROOM TEMPERATURE water in the tank then put the rocks ( that WERE cleaned) in the bottom of the tank arrange them how you would like then carefully put the fish in there tank.
Your fish tank doesn't need to be cleaned. It's always clean.
Any time you plan to put rocks of any type in your tank, make sure that you clean them very well until the water runs clear; if you do not clean them properly, you could introduce illness to your tank.
filters only filter the water they don't clean the walls of the tank or the gravel in your tank. you still need to move rocks and plants to get to the crap left behind that the filter cant get. you should do this when you clean your filter. depending on what sort of fish you have they can clean the tank for you cichlids will definitely clean the gravel for you as they build nests like birds and are always sucking up rocks. you should try to get a catfish as these are bottom feeders and they will stir the water up for you as well. you can get some catfish that will go good with goldfish as well.
depends on the size of the fish, there might not be enough oxigen in a small fish tank.
No
here is how to do it: pour some water from the tank into a big bowl then put all the fish in there, then wash the rocks clean the tank or whatever then once you have cleaned the tank let it sit for about 24 hours then after the 24 hours you put the fish back into the tank. PS ive tried it other ways and it doesnt work
