Your fish died because the tank didn't cycle yet. *The high levels of ammonia/nitrites from a newly set up tank probably stress it out and eventually killing them.

You can probably use the old tank too.  Just beware of some uninformed fishstore employees who want to sell you everything they have and make $$.  You have to read some of the articles about cycling and become informed so that you are not taken for a ride.
