What does it smell like? Is it foul? Check for ammonia, maybe. Water changes will help if it's a water quality issue.

A dead fish smell means that something is dead and decaying in your tank. Change water and see if you can find what died. A healthy tank should not smell like that.

throw a few bags of chemipure in there and some water changes and it should be ok . also check for missing or dead fish .
