Re: new fish
No, they will not die, "all of a sudden." What happens is that their life will be considerably shorter. They will be more susceptible to disease and disorders and the water quality will not be stable.
I do not rationalize why space is important for fish. It just is that way, despite the human emotional justification of what humans want to do over what is proper. Please don't rationalize why you should continue to keep fish in too small of space. Fish don't speak to us and we don't know if they are okay or not except by our own concept of 'good' or 'bad.' However, we know from knowledge of marine life and their husbandry what they need in the wild and translate that the best we can to captivity.
Consider this human scenario:
Our hospital is overcrowded, so your sick grandmother won't have a bed, but we'll put her in a (Captain's type) chair. And since we're really short on space, we'll put chairs all around her of other sick people, in a room some would consider a large closet.
The above is a space matter. In human terms, would this improve the health care of the grandmother? Might she seem okay? Sure. Will her chances of improving and maintaining her health be the same as if she were in a bed with only one or two other beds in the same room? Yes. Will all the people in the room suddenly die? I doubt it.
