What fish clean glass in fish tanks?

Answer 1

Step 1: first, get a cup/bowl and put 25% to 50% of the water from the tank into a bucket.

Step 2: Gently deposit each of your fish into that bucket, temporarily.

Step 3: Get a clean sponge, and wipe the glass inside of the tank. Do NOT use cleaners; they will kill your fish.

Step 4: After that, put clean water in. Make SURE it is ready for FISH to live in it!

Step 5: Reinsert filters, lights, etc.

Step 6: Check with a fish store concerning what the water needs to be before re-introducing the fish! (Salinity; temperature; how oxygenated it is...etc. Used to be that you had to wait 24 hours before putting the fish back in but I don't know if that has changed or not.

Put your fish from the buck into the tank, one at a time.

Step 7: DUMP the dirty water from all buckets you used.

Step 8: Enjoy your new, clean fish tank!

You shouldn't keep pebbles or fake plants in the tank because they cause bacteria and that kills fish.

When you clean a tank and you do have gravel you need to take the gravel out and put new in if you like.

You should not clean it with chemicals or soap that will kill the fish to i think you should just scrub it down with just a wet cloth so you get the stuff out of the tank.
