How do you clean your tropical fish fish tank?

Answer 1

Well, it all depends on the size of the tank, and whether or not it's filtered:

* For 1/2 gallons, non filtered tanks - 100% water changes every week.

* For 1 gallon - 2 gallon, non filtered tanks - 100% water changes weekly

* For 2.5 gallon - 5 gallon, filtered tanks - 25% water changes weekly

* For 10 gallon, filtered tanks - 10% to 25% weekly water changes

THINGS TO REMEMBER:

- Always use water the same temperature as before. Betta's are quite sensitive to water temperature fluctuations

- Always use dechlorinator or let the water set for at least 24 hours before using. Never use distilled water

- Never use soap when cleaning the tank

- For smaller tanks, use a turkey baster (or something similar) to get rid of extra food and waste. For larger tanks, try gravel vacuums.

Ok, you will need: Food ( refer to below ), tank, plants or hiding places ( optional ), betta fish tank thermometer, betta fish ( DUH ), water conditioner, and if you want to be really nice, betta revive ( again optional ).

Step 1: Feeding

Betta fish should be fed 2-4 times a day depending on the size of the fish. Remember, their stomach is the size of their eye, not very big! Betta fish flakes will also work, but if you want a little more fancy betta meal, use blood worms or brine shrimp.

Step 2: The tank

Betta fish do not need a very big tank. In the wild they will live in flooded foot prints to flooded tire tacks. They are air breathers, they have lungs, not gills, so remember to not keep a lid on tour tank. If your betta fish jumps, put a lid with air holes over the top of your tank. They like to hide, so fake plants and stuff like that would be good. Your local pet store will usually have these things.

Step 3: Cleaning the tank

The first time you get your betta, you should use a betta thermometer to check the temperature of the water in his little bag or container. Whatever that temperature is, is the temperature that the water should be every time you clean his tank. Get the right temperature of water ready in your tank, with your betta hiding places in it too, and put him in. His tank should be cleaned once a week. It will take him a little while to get used to his new home, but he will adjust. Every time you clean his tank after that, the weater temperature should still be kept at the same as when you got him. Do not do a complete water change, put him in a separate bowl with half of his old water, then do a half water change. This is so he does not go into shock.

Note: Do not put two male betta fish in the same tank, they will kill each other. Females can be kept together. Males are the ones with the long, flowing fins, females are the ones with the short fins.
