Well my betta fish mated and they hatched today. After they do a bit more of growing up i’ll take the daddy out. But the tank is getting pretty dirty. So after they are old enough where they can swim horizontally, can i change their tank water?

I have a fish in a bowl, but I want to step up to a tank. I have no problem cleaning my fish bowl, but will it be a lot harder for a tank? How do I clean it? How often?
i clean my fish bowl once a week, but it’s pretty easy because all i have to do is take my one fish out and then change the water. won’t that be harder with multiple fish and a much bigger tank?

I got a fish tank with fish from a friend who is moving and didn’t want them anymore. The problem is they let the tank get pretty nasty. There are 4 fish and and algae eater in there, but there is tons of poop in the pebbles, or gravel on the bottom. We have a few fake plants in there, and the tank has a filter, heater, and light. How do I go about cleaning it, and getting the poop out without too much stress on the fishies? Thanks!

Ok so I have a 20 gallon oceanic biocube that has been running approx 1 month. I cycled it with 2 Damsels for 2 weeks, then removed them and added a clown, bubble tipped anemone, and a xenia frag (just for fun).
Now I was just wandering when I need to get a clean-up crew?
What would be an ideal crew?
And is this a good crew- 15 BLUE LEG HERMIT CRABS,4 RED TIPS MEXICAN HERMIT CRABS,5 SNOW WHITE HERMIT CRABS, 7 ASTREA TURBO SNAILS, 2 ATLANTIC PORCELAIN CRABS, 25 NASSARIUS VIBEX SNAILS, 20 DWARF CERITH SNAILS, 2 PEPPERMINT SHRIMPS, AND 2 GREEN EMERALD CRABS
(this was an example i found online)
THANKS!

Tank details, 30 gallon long 3ft by 15″ by 12″ one yellow tang (2″ and I know he out grow the tank eventually), one springeri damsel (1″ very peaceful), one emerald crab (about a half inch), some green and pink polyps, a green mandarin (about an inch and a half who eats frozen mysis shrimp surprisingly) a bubbler and about 17 lb. of live rock. I know I can only keep one mandarin but since he is a member of the goby family can I keep a goby with him? I need something to eat the algae off the sand, which only grows because of these stupid blue coral light, which goby would be best for removing algae from the top of the sand? I am open to other suggestions to fix this problem please no rude comments, thanks.
ps future tank plans include two clownfish and possibly another tang.

I have a little 10 gallon salt water tank and I am trying to find the best way to clean all the little bits and pieces of stuff that sits on the sand in the bottom. I had a chocolate chip starfish that died and my shrimp picked him apart and now it looks like I have those little styrofoam balls in the sand! And since I have black sand, anything like that sticks out and makes it look not as nice! Anyone got any ideas?

So i found this really cool shell at the beach that’s about the right size for one of my hermit crabs. I looked up how to clean a shell but all it said to do was boil it, which i did, but it didn’t get rid of the calcium deposits . >.<…I would like to get rid of them without using anything toxic to my hermit crab. And how do you polish it to make it shiny like the ones in the pet stores? Btw, it’s a purple claw land hermit crab.
