76 is about perfect for an oscar. that isnt the reason they died. there is something else at work here. can you post your water parameters? how long have you had the tank? is it properly cycled? are there white spots or fuzz on the fish, or do the fins have fungus on them? what are your nitrates, nitrites, and amonia at?

How long have you had your filter running?

How long has your filter been running?
O's can survive any temp above 57,2, so thats not the problem I think.

Do you have a test set, and if yes what are your Nitates, nitrites and ammonia readings?
How often do you change water and how much?

Ok, do you have any other fish in the tank?
When you say full tank clean, you mean replace all the water, or a part?
Did you use any soap?
How big is your filter?Did you clean the filter too?
I think it's best to get a liquid test set, so we can rule out bad water quality.
