my fish tank smells really bad I think its the talapia I fed my fish whats the best way to get rid of the smell I was gonna do a water change wen I get a chance
 
I'd say a water change is a solid start. Gravel vacuum, clean filters with tank water, make sure any uneaten food is removed as soon as possible. It never hurts to test your water either :)

When's the last time you did a water change? I always do at least 50%

i did a 30-40% 2 days ago so its recent but tried feeding oscars new food yesterday they ate it all but some of it sat in the water for a few minutes making the tank smell
 
What substrate and filters do you use? How often do you clean either of them? Does any of the food go uneaten?
