so just came back home and the smell has gone down a bit but still there, using fabreeze, im thinking its pockets of gas because when i poured the water in i tired not to stir the substrate (black gravel) but prolly moved some around..hopefully i can get rid of it somehow

Aerobic bacteria = smells OK to smells good. Anaerobic bacteria = smells awful!! Time for a gravel vac, filter cleaning, and water changes!
This rarely happens in a properly maintained tank with enough beneficial bacteria!

Thats what i was thinking. I have noticed smells for poorly taken care of tanks and overstocked tanks. These fish are going to get much larger, might want to think of an upgrade.
Didn't this thread have a different name yesterday?
Kind of sounds like the smell in an old canister that wasn't cleaned out, and went over. Have you done anything that would kill off your bacteria in your filter? That could get it stinking...

go ahead, try it.
next time you're going to leave the house for several hours pour some vinegar in some plates and put those plates around the room. leave the house for a couple hours. come back, toss out all the vinegar and see if that helped.
vinegar does some awesome things. You're not from the south i suppose?
edit- thought you were OP, nvm.
