The best time to clean a fish tank is time that is available to you every week for maintenance.
It's a good idea to set aside time one day each week (preferably the same day so you never forget) to do at least a 50% water change, and to clean any debris or waste from the tank.

Can you leave the tank water as it is and wait till next time to change it or will the fish die?

If you care about your fish, it is best not to take that chance. When the oxygen in the tank is depleted, they will die just as you would if you were locked in an airtight room.


How much water should you leave for the fish when you are clean the tank?

The general rule is that one should change around 25% of the water at a time, thus all you need do is leave your fish in the tank and siphon out 25% of the water, and then replace with dechlorinated water of the same temperature. If you are cleaning a bowl, then it is more common to clean the entire bowl; in that case the fish maybe be placed in a bucket or cup.

Are you supposed to clean a betta tank if they lay eggs?

It is best left untouched for a couple of weeks, during this time water (same temperature as the water inside the tank) can be added to the tank in order to dilute the waste substances. The movement of water inside the tank should be very low as it can break the bubble nest. after eggs are laid, the male betta (parent) should be the only fish in the tank and after two to three days, he should also be removed from the tank in order for the fry to develop. Otherwise the fry (baby fish) get eaten.
