How did my fish tank magically clean itself?

I suggest that you learn more about your fish in your aquarium. One of your fish might be a bottom sucker which means that they eat all of the dirt on the side or bottom of your tank. If one of your fish are bottom suckers, that's probably the reason why your aquarium is clean. If none of your fish are bottom suckers, than somebody must be secretly cleaning your tank for you.


Why does a Limpet have a sucker at the bottom?

A limpet has a sucker at the bottom so that it can cling to rocks, if it has more than a few hours to attach itself, 30% of them start to form a different, stronger attachment which appears to be based on glue. These limpets remain stationary for extended periods, it is thought that limpets alternate between the use of suction and glue depending on their need to move.
