FAQ: HOW DO I CLEAN MY AQUARIUM WHEN IT GETS DIRTY?
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR MINI AQUARIUM.
Is your mini aquarium dirty? Mini aquariums require a little bit more upkeep than large aquariums because they lack filters.
It is advisable to change half the water of your aquarium once every two weeks and also avoid overfeeding to prevent water pollution.
Changing half the water is quite easy,you just need a small bowl in which you pour half the water of the aquarium into, making sure the fish does not follow in the process but if the fish follows you are safe since it isn't directly into a sink, you can either use a small net or you can improvise using a spoon to get the fish and return into the aquarium.
Prior to the day you want to change the aquarium water ensure you have kept a bowl of water down to replace the one you want to change. Then after removing half replace with the aged water you kept aside.
If you notice your aquarium is totally dirty or the water is green, you need a complete water change which is similar to the process of changing half the water.
- Prior to the scheduled day,ensure you keep water in a container to replace the one you are changing.
- Remove the live plant and rinse it gently if it is also dirty or has particles of feed on it,then set it aside noting the root for replanting.
- Pour the water in the aquarium along with the fish into another bowl leaving the gravel behind.
- Pour the gravel into another small container and wash it till its clean.
- Clean up the sides of the tank with a small foam to remove algae and grime.
- Return the gravel and replant.
- Add the aged water you set asides prior to the day gently into the aquarium to prevent scattering of the plant.
- Catch your fish using a net or improvise using a spoon,then return into the aquarium.
- Don't feed your fish till the next day.
NOTE: Avoid placing your aquarium under direct sunlight to prevent algae growth. Just a minimal amount of sunlight is required for the plant growth so you can place it close to a window or if you have any other light source you can use it.
