Fish are fish, give them the best care you can. They didn't ask to be in your tank.

This is a classic case of where you should make sure you have done your RESEARCH on these fish before buying them. Tropheus have become way too popular lately and I hate seeing mistakes happen to these fish that could be avoided. Dont take this too harsh because I am guilty as well. When I first started Ek told me straight up that these fish needed to be researched over and over again before keeping them successfully. Go back and read more articles...read past threads here on the 'Box...check the dates to make sure topics are current.

Stories like this terrify me. It is almost certainly something that the City did with the water.

I have thought for a while about putting water into a large tub first with the dechlorinator and letting it sit for a while before adding it back to the tank. Is there a relatively inexpensive submersible pump which would move the water from the bucket on the floor to a tank above? The top of my tank is about 5' above the floor.

you should often see some used Mag7 ( 700 gph) pump on craigslist for $30-40
