don't feed your fish.
don't add anymore fish.
don't do water change.
turn the lights off.
wait another week and see what happens.

Normally we cycle a tank before we put new fish in it....
....I agree with Ming for the most part, but don't wait a week...lol. Wait two or three days and do a PARTIAL water change of about 20%....if that...then in another two to three days do it again. Your gonna have minicycles, no doubt. You'll just have to let your bacteria get established first before you start doing water changes.

Sounds like a bacterial bloom. It is very common with new tanks. More than likely it will correct itself. I agree with Peanut Power concerning the rest of treatment. Should be harmless to the fish. I dont use the clear water drops,so i cant speak on that directly. Hope this helps.
