Thank you all for your feedback and help, the FAQs I've been pointed towards
are very helpful.

Unfortunately as expected, all of the fish are dead bar one, who will be
joining the big bio-orb in the sky very soon by the looks of things.

Now, should I clean out the tank completely: the gravel, castle, and glass
before I start again? I don't want any new fish to catch the disease that
killed these guys, so I'm assuming I need to start the whole thing again and
let the tank mature for 3 weeks from scratch.

Ideas? The water quality is good, all the tests are fine, but I don't want
any nasty germs and bugs to still be attached to the gravel, plants and
glass...

thanks!

If you clean your tank out completely, you will have to start all over
again. But you may also choose to let your tank go dormant and maybe
treat with a safe organic treatment such as Pimafix and wait a couple
weeks before adding more fish.
Either way follow the above advice of others and take it slow and read
as much as possible.
Here is one more site with links to even more information:

But don't just read this, search the web or your local book store for
more information.
