Sometimes, hot water heaters have crud in them from their cathodic anodes decomposing. I prefer to aerate cold tap water and use an aquarium heater to bring it up to temperature.
That said, the hot water from the shower by itself didn’t kill the fish.
Are there any invertebrates in the tank? If they are fine, that points away from a water issue and more to a fish disease.

The I do have inverts the snail was fine but my Brittle star wasn't moving until I put them in a smaller bucket with an air stone they started moving normal

If your inverts are doing ok - IMHO - this rules out an issue with your water - (Though - it's probably best to use RODI water) - IMHO

Those catholic anodes really are a problem... I prefer the secular ones myself
