Get a net, or fill up the container/bowl where you're putting your fish while you clean the tank, and try to use your hands to pick them up. I've done that a few times. Or try scooping them up into the container/bowl when you're getting the water..

∙ 11y agoIf your tank already has a proper filter running on it, and you mean to physically clean your fish tank, then there are a variety of items available to do this.
One method, if your tank is small would be using a bucket. In addition, you will want to invest in a gravel vacuum that is suitable for your tank size, as this will help clean debris from the bottom of the tank.
In addition, you should have an algae scrubber to clean the sides of the tank.
You should do weekly water changes of at least 50% of the water, and remember to add water conditioner when you add the new water back to the tank.

you can fish the fish out of the tank with a net or a cup and keep them in a bowl with some water that came from the unclean tank, until the next tank is ready for their arrival. So when you have the next tank ready, you can just take the cup and dump them in with the water that you left it in when cleaning.
How can you clean a fish tank with baby fish in it?
That depends on how dirty the tank is and what kind of 'dirt' is in the tank. It also depends on what species the fish are and how baby(tiny) they are. If the dirt is algae, then I'd simply scrape it off the glass and syphon the muck out if neccessary. I'd be very carefull that the fry would not be sucked up the syphon tube. If the tank was foul and putrid I'd remove/net or syphon the fish out and strip the tank down for a scrubbing.

How do you keep aquarium clean?
Well, you can keep your aquarium clean by changing the water! Every week, take out about 25% of the water and replace it and by the 4th week of the month, preform an entire tank cleaning! To do this, you'll need: A separate bowl/tank, a fish net, water, water conditioner, a bucket, and paper towels. Get the net and gently scoop out the fish and put it in the spare bowl with clean water. Empty the water into the sink and take out the gravel. Rinse the gravel and decorations with clean, tap water. NEVER USE SOAP AS THIS CAN KILL YOUR FISH! Scrub the sides of the tank with a wet paper towel and dry the outside. Add the gravel back in and pour tap water into your bucket. *Make sure you know exactly how many gallons you are putting in!* Now, add in the water conditioner, following the directions on the box. Slowly pour in water to the tank and add in plants and decorations. Now, you can add the fish!
