Aquarium Advice Freak
We went home to visit my family this weekend and ended up stumbling upon a little lfs with a small selection of beautiful half-moon bettas! Despite knowing better, we decided to take one home with us...he's a little stressed, but doing ok after being smuggled onto a 2 hour flight earlier today (apparently the airline will allow dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas, ferrets, guinea pigs...blah, blah, blah...but NO FISH?!?).
So we've got him home in a small container, but want to set him up in our now empty 5.5 gallon. The tank was home to our betta who died a few weeks ago of an unknown disease...we never could figure out what it was that killed him. So my question is, what is the quickest and safest way to clean out the tank that our old betta was in?
We don't want to keep our new little guy in this little 500 mL container for too long, but want to make sure that we clean out the old tank as best we can to avoid any chance of disease still being present. I'm going to go pick up cleaning supplies tomorrow (which I assume will probably be bleach), so any advice is greatly appreciated! I need to know the what to use to clean the tank, and also the best method to actually go about cleaning the tank.
TIA! I'll post pics of our new little betta (named Jetson) as soon as we get him in the tank
