How big is the tank you put them in? Did you cycle it first?

Do you have any idea what your water parameters are?
its a 55g tank and i cycled it for about 5 weeks or so then i gave into impatience
and by water perimeters you mean ph and that stuff? if so my ph is around 8.5 or so and the other thing is less than .025 of ppm and heres a update the fish are both still alive and the one that was at the top moved to the bottom,when i turn their lights on they sorta wake up and when i put some food out they are all darting around still so its sorta confusing for me trying to figure out whats wrong.

Ok, the first thing you need to do is understand what the "stuff" is that you're checking for.
You need to know your readings for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH. If any of these numbers is out of whack, it can kill your fish.
I just learned about cycling but I already have fish. What now?!
How did you cycle this tank?
