How do you change the water in the bowl for your betta fish?

How to change your Betta fish's bowlFirst, fill a cup with your fishes water, and then gentle without hurting your Betta, scoop him up with your net, and then put him in the cup. Then, take the plant out of the bowl, and lay it aside on a paper towel or napkin. Afterwards, take a strainer, and pour the water into the strainer over a sink. Then, wash out the pebbles with nontoxic soap and water. Put your pebbles aside for now. After you did that, fill your fish bowl with warm water only for 5 seconds. Then, take your sponge, and dip it in the warm water, take the same nontoxic soap you used for the pebbles, and add a little to the sponge, and then scrub! Until the algae is gone. then, rinse thoroughly until the suds are gone. Afterwards, put your plastic plant in your fish bowl, and then, dump your pebbles into the fish bowl. After that has been completed, stick your index finger into the fish's cup water (without hitting the fish!) and run the sink to the same temperature as the cup water, and fill it all most all the way.

How do you clean a fish tank for goldfish?

What I would do is, first turn off the heater, lights and filter. Then I'ld syphon some water from the tank into a clean bucket. Next I would net the fish and place them in the bucket. Then I would syphon most of the remaining water from the tank trying not to disturb the gravel or plants too much or leave them to dry out. I would then refill the tank with water I had kept overnight in clean containers to allow the chlorine to evaporate off. Alternativly you could use a commercial water conditioner available at pet shops to counteract the chlorine/chloromine in the tap water. Then I would turn everything electrical back on not forgetting to clean or replace about 80% of the filter medium. Maybe a little hot water would be required to equalise the temperature of the water in the tank with the water in the bucket and then if I was happy with everything being ready I would replace the fish in the tank.
