Fishy smell in tank...

[Kalib]

Did a partial water change today, after siphoning out some water, i noticed i've got a very strong fishy smell coming from the tank. Any idea what causes that?? Before i did the siphoning, the water didn't have any smell.

Did some tests on the water:

Ammonia: 0

Nitrite: 0

pH:8.5(a little high)

Maybe you stirred up some detritus.

Hmm...Yes,now that you mentioned it i do remember stirring up some stuff when my siphoning tube went near a piece of LR.Maybe thats the cause. Would monitor the water for the next few days to see if the smell would go off.

u have any anemone or mushrooms? if yes pls check whether on them coz i know they give out a smell when die!!

[Kalib]

I don't have any anemone so that can't be the cause and my mushroom appears fine so far. Anyway, the smell isn't so strong already.

one small mushroom doesnt do much to the tank.. if its anemone.. the water most likely will be cloudly...u stir up something.. monitor the situation.. if smell is still there.. maybe do another water change.. but.... remember to leave the water overnight..

Just an update, the water no longer smell fishy. Thanks for all the help, was a little worried something bad was going on in the tank.
