I have heard that cleaning the tank with soap can be lethal to a fish?? wat should I do NOW =(

Answers:

put it in the tub and let it soak with baking soda (one handful for every 5 gallons) to remove any soap scum for a couple of hours. Then run water through it to rinse it well for half an hour.

Quickly transfer the fish out to another pail of water!!

Make sure the aquarium is soup-free then fill it up with water again and transfer ur fish back.

Good luck!!

Rinse it with a solution of vinager to clear out the soap; and then with plain water very very thoroughly. Unless somebody has a better idea.

If you havent already done so, you should get a PH level kit. You can pick them up at any Walmart or common pet store. If the level is out of whack, then you definately need to put your fish in a container,such as a pitcher, of filtered, treated, room-temp. water. Next, you should completely empty your tank. By using a common kitchen strainer ( like for noodles), Boil a big pot of water on your stove, and pour the water over the rocks in the strainer, while shaking the strainer. Do this until you are sure the water that is coming out the bottom is running totally clear.
