Make sure you suck up all the rotting food and poo! Regular testing of the water will keep a close eye on when u need to do a water change.

Could have been a number of reasons for the fish loss after a water change...they may have already been on the way out because of the high level ammonia, and a drastic change to clean water could have been too much for them, possibly you changed too much water, or water contaminated, or they were totally scared!
Sorry for loss, it happens to the best of us.

Probably the high ammonia. Have you cycled the tank? What size tank and what's in it? I would also recommend you get a liquid test (API) as the test strips are notoriously crap.
Ammo and nitrite should be 0, anything able .25 is toxic and requires immediate attention.

Neither the ammonia or nitrite levels are high enough to cause death after only 3 days, unless they were dramatically higher. (I think that's what I saw in another thread anyways... have they been there longer?)
