What kind and how many other fish do you have. That tank will only hold about 12 fish that at adult size are no more than one inch. (no goldfish)=

Sounds to me like you have overcrowded your tank and the ammonia levels spiked.=
 
Do you think they were okay to stay together?? the new fish and the old fishes..; it is possible that they were not suited together. The death could be caused from stress.
or if you kept the water dirty, you should keep the water clean, thats the most important thing for heathy fishes
 
About 10 days ago i brought some new fish. After one day one of my guppies died, i brought him about 4 weeks ago. After two days i noticed one of my new black mollies was dead in the bottom of my tank. The second black mollies was struggling to stay horizontal and kept sinking to the bottom of my tank and later died.

Any ideas why this has happened?
I have got a 60 liter tanks with a filter and heater, i change the water every week, i only cnage 10% of it.

Its like the fish don't have the strength to stay up right.
 
Did you have?
filter
Heater
Bubbler?
thats probably the reason if you didnt have any of those
 
We need a bit more info.

How big is the tank?
How long has it been set up and was it cycled?
What are your water parameters, such as ammonia etc?
What is your tank maintenance routine?
Where there any other symptoms on the fish before they died?

Unable to right themselves is a sign of a swimbladder disorder, this can be a sign of overfeeding, internal disorders including parasites and/or water quality problems.
 
I believe you over-taxed your bacteria load by adding new fish. You need to keep up with water changes right now as it sounds to me as you had an ammonia spike.
