I'm moving my fish into a bigger fish tank. with a bigger community (snails and bottom feeders) I wanna know if anyone here has fish? And what their tank setup is like. As well as just asking questions for other stuff because I barely know anything about fish. |

I have fish. What's up?
I wanna know mostly right now how I can clean a tank previously housing a gerbil. My sister bought a fish tank for it, and it passed so she's giving it to me and it needs to be clean. |

Hey there!
I have a REALLY small female beta fish. My tank set up is probably not the same as what you have going on, but....
I have a 2.5 gallon tank with at least five fake plants and a little ship wreck decor thingy for her to swim through. I had to buy two smallish bags of gravel. I also have a filter and heater. If you have tropical fish, you need a heater.
For my tank, I clean it every 2 to 4 weeks and I replace the filter. I also clean the gravel and everything else in the tank. NEVER USE ANY KIND OF SOAP!!! I really just rinse and use a clean sponge to clean the tank. I put conditioner in the lukewarm water and let it all cycle through for a few hours before putting my fish back in.
I got all my stuff from PetsMart : )
Not sure if that helps, but there ya go <3 |

I would say to just rinse it out with a hose a bunch of times. And scrub the walls and everything lots of times. I would clean the tank until you would feel safe enough to eat out of it. The. You know it is clean enough for fish to be in. |

With some aquarium cleaner and a new sponge, you should be able to clean it up. Bettas do incredibly well with snails, depending on the bottom feeder it may eat the snails. |

I have 4 fish, 3 tetras and a clown pleco. They are my babies and I love them very much - The tank is around 20 gallons, maybe a tad more, we have some plants and a few hiding places and some pebbles. |
