Why are my fish dying!!

Those fish on page 6 are either parasite-ridden or extremely underfed. I would not be surprised at all if they die. I would not have purchased those specimens.
Only place around here that sells Altifrons that grow up to look nice, and I don't have the money to pay for shipping fish purchased online.
I'm guessing underfed, because they wanted to eat even during acclimation.

Oh, limited choices. 
That's no fun. But they have potential! Definitely hit them with some prazi-pro and powerfeed/power-water-change for a little while to help them catch up. Their eyes are too big for their bodies, and you know what that means.

I actually don't. I haven't been in the fish keeping world too long. I'm guessing it means they're stunted?

Yeah, quite possibly. But it might not be too big a deal if you can "catch them up" efficiently enough. Even stunted fish are beautiful, and as they grow they might recover enough to not even look stunted by adulthood.
I had something similar happen to my stock a few months back. I wasnt running enough filtration. I had 2 hot mags on my 100g. I think you are running 1 AC110 on your 100g?
If that is all you are running. I would grab a pump and a sponge filter until you can afford to get more filtration. I think your stock needs more bacteria colony and lots of aeration. You can get a nice air pump with dual outputs, 1 for the sponge filter and 1 for an air stone.
When I had my 2 hot mags on my 100g, fish kept dying off. I added 2 pumps and voila... My $0.02...
Good luck and keep us all posted!

I know salmon is no good, reason being its a very oily fish and can screw with your water parameters bad...
So to be safe i think the rule is dont feed your fish any fish that is oily since the oils ruin parameters
