Yes. It's a gentle smell - like a pond or damp earth. It should not
smell fishy and never "foul."
=================
If there's a foul or fishy smell like me, as I often smell that way, its stagnant water or
water loaded with bacteria. If one of my tanks started to smell "bad" I'd
really go wild with theHoover vacuum. I'd make sure every inch of the gravel was
done. I'd clean the filter and add another filter for at least awhile. An
airstone would also help oxygenate the water and keep it moving. And lastly
I would use some good quality activated carbon for a week or so. A foul
smelling tank or in my case a foul nasty person is not a healthy . Which reminds me,
its time again for my bi-monthly bath.
