Smell

[Ked2016]

My 5 gallon aquarium has been up running for a while. It' has everyone in it right now. It has a smell I did a 75% water change Clea the rocks and everything that could come out. It smells better. Should I keep doing water changes daily or every other until it's good? I don't know what the water parameters are I have to get the straps.

If the water smells bad, do a 75% water change and gravel clean the substrate every day for a week. Make sure you clean under rocks and ornaments too.
Make sure any new water is free of chlorine/ chloramine before it's added to the tank.

How long has the tank been set up for?
How long has it had fish in it?

What sort of filter is on the tank?
How often and how do you clean the filter?

How often are you feeding the fish?

I did a 75% water change. I took everything out cleaned it.

Filter- FEDOUR 4W 5W Adjustable Aquarium Internal Filter, Submersible (for 10-40 gallon)

Clean about every 2 weeks
With a tooth brush only for that. Just water (tap)

I have a feeding dish no food on the bottom

Can my shrimp be sick? They are dying quickly, the seemed normal. I am new to the shrimp world. So far I have lost 5 in 2 days.

This tank has been up 4 months

This is the 5g tank you moved everything to? Do you know the water parameters from before you did the big water change?
