did you wash the filter before you put it in the tank?
how long was it out of water?
did you add any water conditioner before you put the fish in the tank?

you need to build up the correct levels of nitrates etc do not put any more fish in that tank for a good couple weeks or so, shit produces one toxin then another is proiduced to eat that toxin then another to eat that one lol, once all those are ready you ok
i started off with a dozen guppies and a few neons, a couple or so might die
need hardy fish to start off with, water should also be sat for 24hrs heated before adding any fish
have you got any friends with a tank???
if so borrow there media from there pump filter, shake it into your tank and you will be ready to go after a short while
