Dead Fishy Germs!
My fish wasn't properly taken care of while I was on vacation for 2 weeks and he was dead when I came home. His name was Prince Caspian and he was the best fish ever...But he was dead for a while...in my room. I have taken out the tank but the outside of it was stickyish. I cleaned my hands like 3 times after touching it but what kind of germs could he have left? He was a beta fish and how can I clean up the germs? Thanks.

As someone who has touched an awful lot of dead fish (I used to work at fishing lodges), I can tell you there's nothing to worry about.
Wash the tank with dish soap, rinse it with vinegar and again a few times with water, and you should be more than fine, as will any future fishy inhabitants. As long as you're not licking the dirty tank, you should suffer no ill effects.
