Posted: Mon Feb 22, 2016 9:33 pm RES tank suddenly much dirtier, smellier?
So Ive had my RES since she was about 1.5 inches long, and she's grown to about 6-7 inches. Throughout having her, she's always been a little dirty with her tank, but nothing like this. I bought a house and put her tank in our spare bedroom. I changed the filter packets (the filter is a fish one, terra whisper something?) and cleaned the whole filter, but her tank still smells like pure fecal waste. She's never had this much 'output', and Ive never had this much difficulty keeping the tank clean. Its smelling up the entire room. Is this natural for RES to just get.....dirtier as they get older? Is this something I should worry about? Any help is greatly appreciated!
