    I don't have any wood in the tank. I'll check to make sure there's nothing rotting. Thank you >^-^< Some of my fishes were originally black before I got them, as they grow (or maybe the pellets) they change to red. Angel hasn't completely changed that black line is what's left. They are...

    Fish water smells.....why?

    Thanks for all your advice. I'll change the bio bags more often.

I just clean the hood today hopefully it'll work. Thank you...
