It is relatively easy if you use the method described on this page: http://www.myfishtank.net/articles/fishless-cycle/ And for cleaning, most people either just leave them alone (which is what I do), or they use some sort of brush (e.g. a toothbrush) to scrub off the rocks, and use a bleach solution (not sure of what concentration they use) for the plants.
 
realiosing about how much its easier to take care of fish im getting rather than bird im getting holy cow. the bird i was going to get you had too clean cage and play with it every day 2 hours. its like having a big huge reef tank if you get bird but clenaing everything different but still very hard. yeah though i dont want to get to frustrated what to buy and over think this im going to buy now with out anymore threads the tiger oscar simple cool to look at but am worrie dit will sit around n be lazy wen older behind rocks
