What should I do with my fish while I clean my fishtank?

[Kaye]

I have a simple fishtank and a few fish- where should I put them while cleaning my fishtank?

you will need a 5 gallon brand new plastic bucket. this will insure that no harmful chemicals we come into close contact with your fish. use your on judgement on how many you need as time in a bucket is very stressful for fish especially well in close proximity with other fish. if you do not already have one get a net made by python there known for there quality and the material they use insures there will be no in-tangled gills of fins in the mesh of the net.

a plastic bucket works well, use water from the tank else you'll cause them to go into pH shock. And you should scrub the bucket with pure ammonia, or muric acid, or vinegar REALLY REALLY good then label it fish bucket and never use it for anything but fish water again.
