Hi, asker. A fish tank can give off a stench from a lack of poor tank hygiene or a lack of cleaning. Poor tank hygienes can lead to fin rot which might infect your fish. Changing your tank water 50% a fortnight and washing might help reduce the risks of fin rot and also reduces the stench. Good luck & I hope the stench disappears!

You probably have an overgrowth of bacteria in the tank. This usually comes from feeding your fish too much and not properly filtering and cleaning the tank.

Because of bacteria build up. If you get a filter on the fish tank it will eliminate most of the odor.
