    Looks like you have successfully germinated your tomato seedlings.
    I like to separate and individually pot them up when they have their first true set of leaves.
    Make sure they are getting plenty of sunlight and water.

    When temperatures rise above 90 F and do not drop into the 70's at night, many varieties of tomatoes will slow down and even stop the ripening process. Extra watering can help to bring down the air temp around the tomatoes, but really, what you need are some cooler nights.

    Fluctuations in temperature can be the cause, as well as heavy rains or dry spells.
    Mulching can be a help.

    It really depends on many factors, such as soil type, rainfall and temperature. In your case, I would suspect that daily watering would be needed. I recommend planting an indicator plant near your tomatoes, such as impatiens. If the indicator plant looks wilted, you know that you need to water.

    Without a clearer description of the symptoms it's hard to determine the issue.
    Have you inspected for insects, plant damage, holes in leaves?
    Is the plant dying from the top down or bottom leaves?

    Here is a few articles that discuss tomato plant disease.
    See if you can match up the symptoms.
