The wood has not been cured properly to use in the aquarium. This will automatically hide in a few days. If possible, remove the wood and boil it.

+1, for fishy smell do regular water changes, it normally happens when tank/ filter has not matured and will eventually stop as the tank matures.SCORPIO wrote:The wood has not been cured properly to use in the aquarium.
