When cleaning a Betta's tank or bowl, make sure you only take out a third of the water each time you replace it with fresh water.
This will gently allow the fish to adjust to the temperature and pH of clean water, while not upsetting the biological balance
of the fish's environment. This should be done about every three or four days for small bowls or tanks. If your water has a high level
of chlorine in it, you may need to add a drop of declorinator to the tap water before adding it to the tank or bowl.
And never use soap or disinfectants to clean off fish ornaments or decorations. This will harm the fish. Plain warm water
will work just fine for cleaning these items. You can also use a small turkey baster to siphon debris from the bottom of
the tank. This will prevent excessive ammonia and bacteria from building up.
