Looing at your fish, i notice you have some very sensitive fish to poor water. Your tank is in a mini-cycle (you have ammonia and nitrite present). Definately do daily water changes until those levels are back to zero. Have you changed your filter cartrige lately or done some filter maintence?

Also, what types of fish have died? Is there any chance anything got into the tank, like chemical cleaners (ie spraying them in the general area)? Also, has anything else changed?

I'm also concerned that you have zero nitrAtes in your water. Usually, ammonia is turned to nitrIte, then to nitrAte, which is either removed through water changes or by plants. Do you have a very heavily planted tank? If not, thn i can almost gaurentee the fish died from ammonia or nitrite poisioning.
 
I think your test kit may have gone bad. would you mind doing a na test of your tap water for me?
