Planted tank help

Those symptoms (not the Ich) bloat and pop eye generally are from poor water quality. May be your tank, may have been a result of the lfs.

The article in my signature is a good one for learning about all the basics and links for the fish-in cycle 2 articles I think, just in case the tank wasn't quite done with the cycle.

Would recommend doing a couple water changes.

Oh and a side note about the plants in your tank, the stem plants which are bunched up should be planted separately, say a half inch apart at least, that way the light can get down to the lower stems.

Also you can trim the tops off, say, 2-4" and plant into the substrate.
