Fishy smell

[giffmastaflex]

Lately my aquarium has been smelling very fishy usually it's not too bad the recent things I have done is add a pleco and a piece of driftwood. How can I get rid of or lower the fishy smell?

Are you doing enough water changes?

From what I have been told the pleco will add alot more fish waste... I am sure I will be corrected if I am wrong.

Not sure what filter you have? I suggest using carbon filter media as this will take away the fishy smell. It will need replacing every 4to6 weeks though.

But I have live plants, won't the liquid co2 and liquid fertilizer be "canceled out" from the carbon

I have been using liquid co2 with carbon with it for years never had any issues
