How to Clean a Betta Tank

Young_male_crowntail_betta

When you own a fish water changes are very important. Algae and waste builds up over time which increases the ammonia and bacterial levels. This creates an unsafe environment in your tank so you'll need to remove the waste and algae build-up.

So you have an aquarium which is definitely not as easy to clean as a bowl. First of all it's too heavy to lift and there's too much surface to clean. Plus only 25% of the water should be taken out so the gravel can't simply be rinsed. This can seem pretty overwhelming if you have not performed a water change before. There is an organized step-by-step routine that you can follow to make this process go smoothly. In time you'll get in the habit of performing water changes efficiently.
