Viruses do weird things. I had one 6 years ago, couldn't taste anything for 2 months. Then everything was normal except I couldn't taste bananas right nor could I smell water on rainy days/wet pavement. Took 3 years for that to come back.
My Filter smelled like cologne while servicing

It might be a form of Stockholm syndrome, but I’ve actually come to like the smells of planted tanks, reef tanks, and even the fish food.
Now the coral food and river shrimp… I wish I couldn’t smell them!

I have not used any treatment or anything the one fish is and has been perfectly healthy
Really paint???? I had a decoration loose paint in my tank dropped my ph it’s out now and filter is serviced but do think that could have been the cause???
All he will eat is Mysis and Brine shrimp…. I remember you and you probably remember me I had to start a new one lost my old account access
Ok so what if I had just removed a decoration loosing paint in this aquarium and I thought it was normal being aquarium safe my husband said no absolutely not and I I had to remove itSo...I've long been aware that I am as deaf as a post, which makes my life easier when it comes to sumps, overflows, airpumps, etc. since I don't even notice the noises they make, which apparently drive other folks to distraction.
But now, I'm starting to think that I might be "hard of smelling" as well. I have never noticed any kind of aroma from my tanks or filters, aside from a general earthy-garden kind of smell that I find quite pleasant. I use Massivore pellets regularly, and everyone including the store I buy them from complains about the stink; I've never particularly noticed or been bothered.
Freeze-dried krill have a fishy smell that is noticeable when the container is open and I am actually feeding the fish or turtle. Frozen brine shrimp have a slightly annoying aroma that I try to keep off my hands when using it...but the only really irritating food smell IMHO is frozen Hikari plankton, which smells so bad that I honestly thought the package had thawed, rotted and then been re-frozen. Nope; that's just the way it smells.
But this thread bemuses me. Deep woods pine? Old Spice cologne? Tea oil...artist's paint...metallic smells...what are you people talking about???
As often happens...I find myself at odds with the common opinions about this topic. And as usually happens...I think everyone else is delusional!
