Why does my tank water reek after feedings?

Just fed some frozen(shrimp, krill, talipia) and also dropped a few massivore carnivore pellets.

The water smelled sort of earthy before but now it has a little more stink to it.

The pellets when I open the bag smell foul (not saying spoiled but I certainly dislike the smell)so I wonder if that's what it is.

I think you answered your own question lol. Pellets can smell badly (I know since I have catfish among other kinds), but usually they don't stink up the entire tank. Perhaps you should consider switching brands or get a fresh pack.

When I open the bag goddamn it stinks up the room. I just bought it last week from the fish store. .

The water quality is excellent as I did a 60% change yesterday

Yeah, it may have been bad before you bought it. Does it have a date?

What I'll do is next feeding is skip the pellets and see if that smell comes back with a vengeance

massivore carnivore pellets

If they are Hikari Carnivore massive pellets that smell will always take a day or so to be gone after feeding. I personally don't buy those anymore my wife would always complain. The fish loved them pellets.

Maybe sell it to someone? Perhaps try MFK Marketplace?

I just fed less pellets so the fish could eat them quickly. That helped.
