Did you pre-treat the water to get rid of the chlorine/chlorimines?
How warm of water?
What kind of filter?
Aeration?

we need more info
post the following:
heating
filtration
how long has the tank been set up
what fish you have in the tank and how long they have been there
get yourself a liquid test kit, (not the strips)
test the following in the tank, and test your tap water
ph
ammonia
nitrite
nitrate
off the top of my head I would say that the tank is not cycled, hard to say with out more info.

SH****T i dont have tester!!, the guy that i bought the fish from comes once in a while to test the water. (been busy, but im really about to get things like tester, new tank, filter, etc)
the tank is been running for about a week now(we kinda cheated, i placed a used filter sponge in my filter) we tested the water before putting in the fish, and everything is fine.
she been really doing well til i added more water awhile ago!!
the temp right now is between 80 and 90 (really dont know how to read it)
i have ONE female flowerhorn in there(30gal)
