Have you tested your pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels? If so what are they? What is the tank temperature?

No, that won't help at all as there's nothing in those readings to indicate a water quality issue and being in a bucket would reduce the available oxygen. Which test kit are you using? The temp is a bit high - is that the highest it's been? Do you have good filter flow and surface disturbance to allow oxygen exchange? |

They may not be used to such a high temperature for one thing. How many fish do you have in there in total at the moment? Do you know the hardness (gH) of your water? do you know the pH and gH of the water they came from, and what temperature they were previously kept at?
