There could be any number of reasons or a combination thereof. Poor water quality, meaning high levels of nitrates, nitrites, low or high PH, high levels of ammonia. Very low or very high water temperatures, poor quality of food, disease, etc. You should find out the specifics on the types of fish you wish to keep, water temps, etc. TEST your water and do partial water changes frequently.
