Good morning, we have recently added a Jack Dempsey to our tank and now there has been a weird smell coming from the tank. We have mainly cichlids in the tank and one Bristlenose. We have cleaned the tank and even paid a professional to clean it and the smell seems to leave but after a few days it returns. I just want to make sure this isn’t some sort of sign that the fish are having issues or the tank needs more frequent care. Any suggestion?

Thank you

What kind of 'weird' smell? Can you describe it? Might just be a normal fish tank smell.
It's a very dense fish smell, almost as if there is a dead fish in the tank. We have counted all of our fish several times and they're all there. We never had a smell like this before we introduced the Jack Dempsey, which is why we wanted to make sure everything is okay.
