Depends on the habitat... sure fsh have a slime coat and stresses like poor conditions cause them to excrete more.Only 2 things In the world that smell like fish, and 1 of them is fish.
Can't count how many times I seen ppl never clean the gravel then then the one time they do they wake up to a bunch of dead fish or extremely sick gasping at the surface.Depends on the habitat... sure fsh have a slime coat and stresses like poor conditions cause them to excrete more.
The smell comes froma buildup of organics and anaerobic conditions in the substrate. This produces hydrogen sulfide gas... not good for the fish and makes the tank reek. This is why if you have gravel you need to vacuum it and why I usually prefer capped soil or sand. Not enough water changes, to much food etc. The sand will keep everything on top for easy cleaning.
If the other smells like fish RUN!!!Only 2 things In the world that smell like fish, and 1 of them is fish.
If u was putting back in fish tank yes but to use in a indoor grow room I would filter to use it firstCarbon filters are the worst thing you can use... any experienced fishkeeper will never use these.
No need to filter... just don't use with an unhealthy tank... its already biologically filtered far better than out hydro systems are.If u was putting back in fish tank yes but to use in a indoor grow room I would filter to use it first
