Took at look at the link.
If the fish have been kept in bad water quality for a while it soon can shut there immune system down.
Seen fish get through a long cycle then die as it just took it toll on the fish.

but the nitrIte readding was not there 2 days ago..

they survived their little 0.25 ppm nitrite spike
Yes but it probably had done the damage as the fish died soon after.
There is never any guarantee that a fish will make it through or after bad water quality, it shorten there life as it takes alot out of them. sorry.

I would wait a while to be honest to make sure nothing going off in the tank.
Always best to quarantine new fish.
