I had the same problem with my heater a little while ago. No matter what temp I set it to it kept the water at 90 degrees F. Quite a few fish deaths and some serious evap problems.
Temperature of tank?

Wow that sucks, what fish did you lose? and did they all die at once? Like around the same time?
I just couldn't beleive it today as I was hooking them out a gorgeous yellow guppy looked at me and died! as well as the Peppered Cory!!!
I freaked and done water change but yeh the tap water here is not that cold bloody fish keeping how much of your life does it take up!!!!!! but would we want it any other way!!!!!
Lost a few corys and a dwarf gourami that was becoming ill anyways (poor thing). Somehow the danios and other corys I had at the time managed to survive...luckily I noticed soon enough to get another heater fast!
Ahhh lucky you noticed!!!
I haven't had much luck with Dwarfs I think they are really moody so pretty but just moody. They just sat in the corner of the tank made bubble nests and then died! very aggresive if anyone came near them! Maybe I'm wrong but yeh that's my experiance................
Thanks for that, I have been thinking about the oxygen level but I run an internal power filter and a corner filter in it, it feels like the tank has been poisoned!!!!! which I know it hasn't.........I did buy some new flake a couple of days ago that I have never used before which has been fed to them for the past couple of nights......................
I have just lost my oldest cory I have had her for nearly 2 years, so I am pretty gutted at the moment.
I have just transferred her to another tank but I think it's too late. She holding on but only just so it's only a matter of time.
I just don't know what has happened I know we are experiancing it hot at the mo but I live in the tropics and it's hot all year and I have never had this prob.
She was on her back,I can not handle seeing any of the other fish eating her so have put her in a bucket as my ph levels are set different in my other tanks, she seems good now!!!!
I going to bed I sure hope she pulls through......
THanks for everyones advice.........
Running a fan over the surface of the water is great advice. It will certainly help but then keep an eye on water levels. You will have more evaporation. Lowering the surface of the water and or adding some kind of air stone powered by an air pump will help oxygenate the water. With the temps. of the water that high there is not as much oxygen in the water for the fish.
