Fish keeping is more of a hobby than just another kind of pet

But keeping fish is not easy, and I hate changing the stinky water, so messy!

A well established, well maintained aquarium should never have stinky water. If your tank water is stinky, then there is something wrong. Either you are overfeeding, having leftover fish food in the tank, something is dead and rotting in there, or the filter isn't working, or maybe your tank is undersized and causing all of the problems above.

A healthy aquarium should have earthly smell. The only maintenance it needs is weekly partial water change to get rid of nitrate build up. Nothing should stink in there.
