The reason they are called 'tropical fish' is because they come from tropical areas and need warm water to survive. They have evolved to live in warm water over millions of years. If they are placed in water that is not of the correct temperature (either too hot or too cold) the fishes metabolism will not be able to cope properly and depending on how much difference there is between what they need and what they are getting they will live or die accordingly.
