Clean filter once a week.
Cleaning of the Tank - Take a clean bucket and rinse with water (no soaps or detergents) and take some water from the tank and fill the bucket and drop the fish in it, cover with a net so that fish can not jump out.
Empty the tank (remember u should have enough stored water to fill the tank (kept for a week or so) and all its contents and clean with aquarium salt or rock salt and re-set the aquarium.
