Posted by Rob Stradling on May 16, 2005, 10:51 am Please log in for more thread options One of my tanks has suddenly developed a very pronounced smell. Not to put too fine a point on it, it smells of stale urine. I immediately suspected an ammonia spike, but my tests say no. The fish (various tetras, small barbs, and loaches) don't seem at all bothered, but I'm still concerned. The tank is quite heavily planted, and I keep the temperature at around 26'C. Can anyone offer advice? TIA! Posted by Scott on May 18, 2005, 7:06 am Please log in for more thread options The same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I also checked for ammonia. The smell seems to have gone now. don't know what was causing it though? Scott > > One of my tanks has suddenly developed a very pronounced smell.
