you dont need to clean the rocks or plants, unless they are suddendly getting dirty from algae. i suggest you search the site for cycling a tank, and this would help you out ALOT

fishfreak is correct. Cleaning the tank could stress your remaining fish. If he was already ill it could make him worse. When somthing like that happens the best thing to do if you are worried is to use a general antibiotic and treat your tank. But I would only do that if your other fish looks listless.
