Answer
Hello Charrise!

Your tank is uncycled. All fish will die in an uncycled tank.
I never trust the pet store employees. Many of them are right, but some of them have no idea. See, the big chains will just hire someone because they know about dogs, or can work a register, but then put them to work in the fish section. They move the employees all around, so you rarely get anybody that actually applied to work with fish.

Take a look at this link, just copy and paste into your browser (ignore the part about fishless cycling)
