How do you clean a goldfish tank?
goldfish aquarium maintenance can be divided into several sections: weekly: scrub sides of aquarium with a sponge, if there is green alge living on the sides then do not disturb it for your goldfish will enjoy snacking on it and the alge also serves a purpose: during the day it participates in photosynthesis thus creating oxygen therefore raising the dissolved oxygen levels in the aquarium. If you do use gravel in your aquarium then you will want to use a siphon to vacuum the gravel each week, however vacuuming the gravel does disturb the colony of nitrosomas and nitrobacter bacteria living there which help aid in biological filtration therefore I suggest only grooming about half of the gravel bed each week. Also do around a 25-50% water change of your tanks water each week, this will help keep the water clean/clear and is extremely good for your goldfish. Every two weeks: If you have a sponge filter or poor filtration it is a good idea to rinse it out in a bucket of aquarium water every two- three weeks. Monthly: Rinse out any filters in a bucket of aquarium water, scrub any tank ornaments with a sponge, whipe off the top lid of the aquarium (do not use any cleaning sprays/ agents that are not labled for aquarium use! or you might kill your fish) Also be sure to clean off any tubing or other equipment used inside your aquarium.
