Hi and welcome to the forum :thumbs:
When was the last time you tested your water quality for ammonia/nitrates/nitrites and do you have the results handy? Can you descraibe any symtoms or odd behavior the fish were showing before they died like rapid gill movement/breathing or hanging around near the surface/bottom of the tank lots or the fish flicking and rubbing themsleves on objects in the tank etc?
