Cr*p, Michael Throw in some new carbon to soak up any toxins the cucumber might have expelled, along with a few large water changes. Change the carbon in a day or two so it doesn't leach back anything it soaked up.

i dont have any carbon i missed the fish store just closed. I think i will be ok i caught the cucumber just in time the fish are swimming around more and eating too lots and the clamm is doing ok too.

What do you think was the cause of the deaths? Was it because the cucumber died and released the toxins from a powerhead mishap? Glad evrything didn't crash but a 4yr old fish is a heck of a loss, sorry.

Cucumber horror stories are unfortunately not that rare. Hope your tank recovers. One big reason why I personally stay away from cucumbers.
