What are your water parameters? Your other fish are possible suspects. How did you acclimate your new fish? It seems to me you failed to quarantine the new fish as well.
Temp is not the problem (unless their original tanks were significantly different and they weren't acclimated long enough). How big are your current fish, and the ones you added? Are there any other visible imperfections to them? And as said, do you have any pics of them?
you have to add water from your tank to the bag and let the chemistry of the two waters mix so your fish gets accustomed to the chemitry of the water
