Yes they will die because tropical fish are kept in an aquarium with heat control for the temperature of the water, they will not survive in cold water.

Put a tropical fish in cold water it's metabolism will slow down to the point its body no longer works, it won't be able to digest food, will become very lethargic, and die.

Can you add salt water to tropical fish tanks?

Yes, most freshwater fish were not made to live in saltwater and they can die in the ocean. This is caused by a great loss of weight, due to the water in the fish being pulled out by the salt, and eventually death. About 2% of freshwater fish change to a saltwater environment sometime in their life, but this change happens gradually and they would most likely die if put suddenly into a saltwater environment.
