[puneetvijh]

I completely changed water about one month back & part chnaged water many times .Also part changed water twice this week,but water is still smelling foul.What to do?I have filter & heater running.Also I sometimes use air pump too.I have Gold ,karps & Dollars in it.Please let me know what to do.

I think there might be dead fish in, or your tank is overstocked. Silver dollars need a different temp than goldfish and carp.
 
Did you cycle your tank?
 
Did you do your weekly water changes

How big is the tank and how many fish, of each type, are in there?
 
I think, from remembering your other threads, that this is a very overstocked tank; the smell will be pollution from too many fish, in the wrong size tank. You'll probably have to do daily water changes.

Or get a bigger tank and filter

Feed about once a day and feed enough that the fish can finish in two minutes,
 
Water changes could be done daily on your situation, 30% water changes
 
I also suggest using carbon filter media would be good, It helps remove the foul smell

i think you need to suply an exact list of all tanks, including the dimensions of each, all occupants and number of each, also equipment of each tank ie filter, heater @what temp. this will give everybody a more indepth veiw of your fishkeeping situation will will enable them to come to the correct solution for your problem(s).
ie.
tank one
3ftx1ftx1ft ?
filter?
heater? @what temp?
1x oranda goldfish? (i believe it was 2 but you only have 1 now)
? x carp (are these koi carp, how many)
? x dollars (are these silver dollars or dollar sunfish? ths is extreemly important as they require different water conditions. how many)
? turtles (are they still there)
if you are unsure of the correct name of any occupants please give a description ie. size, shape, colour.
 
tank 2
bowl?
betta
no heater? no filter?
 
tank 3?
8x blood parrot
?x silver/bala shark
or are these actually in tank 1?
i believe there was also mention of another kind of fish?
