Fish tank water smells, and all the fish at the top?

I have a 55 gallon tank, with 7 danios, and 2 guppies. Earlier today I added 2 of the danios, and 2 guppies.

My water now smells really bad, and all the fish are hanging out around the top. I tested my water, and I have 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and very low nitrate (undetectable). Before I added the 4 fish today, I did put in some API Quick Start, to help compensate for the extra fish.

Any ideas on what is causing the smell/hanging out on the top?

    It could be possible that the quickstart was out of date?
