Re: Smelly tank

You need to do a partial water change on a regular basis with fish tanks. I found too that live plants made my tank smell when they started rotting - so out they went.

Re: Smelly tank

If they are well rooted in the tank leave them, its ony when they are floating around or not rooted that they can start to rot. Feel them if they feel slimy they are starting to rot, taken them out.

I ended up putting plastic plants in mine you can get some really nice looking ones nowadays and they do look real.
