Best Answer

Any kind of foul smell comming from the water in an aquarium means that the water is BAD and needs replacing. It also indicates that the tank is not being looked after correctly, maybe there's rotting leftover food, maybe it's overstocked with fish, or the filter is not sufficiently large/efficient to cope with its job.
