Question
hi i have a 2 gallon explorer tank contaning 3 guppies and 3 small koolie loaches. my problem is thatinside the tank it seems to smell. i have had the tank set up for about three weeks and i have don 2 water changes and got a new filter cartrige and it still smells what could be the problem and what can i do abouit it?

Answer
Dear Joseph,
Thank you for your letter. I would say your problem is over feeding. Each guppy could do very well on one fish flake per day or less. Same for the koolie loaches.
Read over my page for aquarium care and write back if you want to discuss further.
