If a tank smells bad then you're doing something wrong! A healthy established tank never smells. It is probably heaped full of ammonia from fish waste and uneaten food, ammonia kills fish as well as really stinking!
If your tank smells rotten then it's your fault and you need to step up your routine tank maintenance.

∙ 11y agoA properly cycled tank that is not overstocked, and has the proper amount of filtration should smell like clean wet earth (dirt). If your tank has a fish odour, it's possible that either a fish has died that is rotting in the tank, or that you are not doing weekly water changes of at least 50% of the water.
