I think there is no fixing this problem (pun intended) but it never hurts to ask. I was the best man at my buddies wedding and I show a couple of rolls with my m6 in between everything else. I when to develop them yesterday and when I pulled them out of the tank and the reels were all clear!!!! Then I realized my fixer tank was not entirely full..So I think I fixed when I should of developed then fixed again:( I'm guessing there is nothing to be done?!?

No, nothing you can do. :(
When you fix, it removes all the undeveloped silver halides.

If you fixed first, it removes ALL of the silver halides (since nothing is developed), which includes the latent image of course.

Sorry, wish I had better news for you.

Things like this happens! For years I had a roll of 220 film tacked to the wall in my darkroom - all clear - same procedure as yours. It was there to remind me to double check and recheck before starting to process.
Even after 50 years of doing development - you can still screw up. Not too many years ago I was processing a batch of films (55 in all) and as I was running out of developer - I mixed a new batch. Misread the label on a container and ended up with 15 rolls of blank film.
