The problem you have on your hands right now is the chain reaction caused by the death of the livestock and the spike in toxicity. If you have another tank you might want to move your remaining livestock to a temporary home while you deal with the problem tank. If your main tank is small you might be wise to gut it just to be on the safe side. If you are still unsure about the copper thing I have a copper test kit that you are welcome to borrow (just pm me). Hopefully you have caught the problem in time to prevent any more death.
