you can go to pet smart or another pet store and get a fish tank vacume and a bucket. take your fish out of the tank and vacume all the water out of it. if you have gravel, plants, or statues make sure to get under them. move around the gravel with the vacume and that should get most of the dirt out. put in new water. it can be from the tap but you need to put water conditioner. you can also get that at pet smart.

Do you need to change the carbon filter in a 2.5 gallon betta tank every time you clean the tank or just rinse and use for awhile?

It's not necessary to change the carbon filter in a 2.5-gallon betta tank every time you clean it. Instead, you can rinse the filter under aquarium water to remove debris and reuse it for a while, typically a few weeks to a month. However, carbon filters should be replaced every 4-6 weeks to maintain their effectiveness in removing impurities and odors. Be sure to monitor water quality and replace the filter if you notice any changes.

Change 10% of your water (so 1 gallon of water if you have a 10 gallon tank) per week. Change at least 25% of your water monthly.


About how many guppys can live a 5 gallon fish tank?

This depends on the strength of the filtration system on the tank. On a 'normal' five gallon tank (filter turnover about 5x/hour) three or four would be a good number. On a 'five gallon tank on steroids' (I have one of these - filter turnover 12x/hour) I kept seven with no problems. If you're going to keep more than three or four, regardless of your filtration, you need to be religious about tank maintenance - 50% water change, every week. Keeping more than 6 or 7 in the tank is probably not going to work. (For filter turnover, 5x/hour means the filter pumps 5 times the tank's volume each hour, so that would be a 25gph filter in a 5 gal tank.)
