Your tank is not cycled:( I guess these are your cycling fish?
I already recommended you a filter.

I was afraid of this...

JP means get a large back filter for the tank ASAP. Spend the money on a nice one while you're at it.

If you bought JP's fry? You bought some of the most supreme FHs you can get. Better take as much care as you can of them.

Get a water sample to you're pet store quickly and have it tested. You need to do water changes, add fresh water aquarium salt, and if you don't have air supply for the fish? You need this too.

how much aquarium salt do i put in and any brand will do it?

air supply i thought you didnt need one if you are using power filters...... but my PH is around 7 to 7.5

Okay PH is good but you have many other components of water quality to worry about. Ammonia, Nitrites, Nitrates etc... I would try for you're local pet store and see if the can give exact input of water parameters. They should tell you what to do next and if you're good with this, you're babies should be fine.

If the power filter is pumping air also into the tank then thats fine. If not, hook the air hose up. The do need air so try to be sure.

NO! You need specific FRESH water aquarium salt. NOT marine or what you eat with dinner.
 
Sorry to say....... but I think you had to research/learn more about fish keeping and start out with cheaper and easier to keep fish before jumping on these FH frys.:(

These were my 4 keeper kamfa frys out of the batch that wasn't supposed to be for sale too:cry:

Aquarium salt helps on gill function for nitrite damaging the gills, but you gatta worry about ammonia, which is one step before the nitrite. Do you have any other tanks that's been running with fish for a while already? If so move all of that dirty filter stuff onto this FH tank(into the filter), and your tank is going to be already cycled or be at least partially cycled.

Google "fish cycling", then read and learn asap so you can take proper actions so you don't end up with sick/dead precious FHs.
