How often and how do I clean my hang on filter?

Sorry didn't mean to post that twice. It's a hang on filter and there r no live plants

The tank has been set up for about a month now. I added fish a week after letting the filter run like the people at petsmart told me to do which I know now was the wrong way to do it. The lights r on for about 11 hours a day, I feed them 1 time a day, and I'm not sure what type of filter it is...

Thanks a bunch. I'm really annoyed that the pet store doesn't tell you that you need to cycle your tank beforehand. I'll keep posting my progress and hopefully my fishies make it. I'm already attached to them and so is my girlfriend lol!

So I bought a 36 gallon tank and ran everything I put in it under water before putting it into the tank like the people at petsmart told me to do and I let the filter run for about a week and they told me it would be ok to add fish. This is my first experience having any fish and until I found...
