Learning is more important than the duration of keeping. I have been keeping fish since I know how to spell "FISH" but that does not mean that I am experience at all.

Let's just learn from mistakes and know how to prevent such from happening again, to you or others.

The old chinese saying : Live till old, learn till old.

never feed tubifex worms in future.

think you have to act fast, turn on the heater add more salt. Separate those that are sicked in a hospital tank before the rest get it. In the meantime, make a trip down to any LF to get appropriate medicine.

Actually, just like SARs, when one of the fish is sick, all shd go on quarantine together, unless u know that the illness will not spread, right? If not, your tank will always be contaminated and any new fishes u add in will sooner or later get the same disease.

Good chance that your fishes died of chlorine / chloramine from the tap water. You should use the tank water. Temperature and Ph from tap is definitely different from it will prevent temperature, Ph shock as well.

Ya, since he had been keeping the fishes for very long, so most likely is due to chlorine/chloramine. maybe recently due to SARs, pub increase the dosage, so this time the fish cannot tahan. Never forget your anti-chlorine/chloramine whenever u change water.
