[AquaticLife] Re:smelly water
Check the nitrite level. Whenever my tank has any fishy smell at all (noone has specified what their bad smells smell like but several have hinted that that’s what it smells like), my nitrites are high. They’re classically associated with the fishy smell.
A noxious rotten odor would be hydrogen sulfide or methane. That could be something rotten, or a buildup of bacteria in your gravel and/or your filter. I’ve had little pockets of it start to form in my tank - but I clean the gravel well every weekend.
