About 4 days ago, I set up a new aquarium. I used new gravel, new (fake) plants, and new ornaments. The heater, lights & filter are also all new. I used a water conditioner as per the instructions, but no other chemicals/salt in it at all. The next day, I placed my male Betta in there. He's doing fine, but now the tank really smells awful. The smell has wafted through the whole house, and almost smells like rotting vegetable matter mixed with sour milk. The water was slightly cloudy yesterday, but is clear today. I've not fed the fish too much - he has eaten everything I've put in there. The tank is a 10 gallon (40 litre) tank. My fish was previously in a much smaller tank, and had only one ornament in it and no gravel. It never smelled at all. Any ideas from anyone fish-savvy?
