You're gunna catch a lot of flak for that comment. Many people think that you basically tortured your "feeder fish". (Since, you know, ammonia IS poisonous to fish) Plus, it's hard to find a chemical product that works well for everyone.
My advice, do the fishless cycle. Get the right stuff and try again. If you would have put fish in you would have killed them anyway. Yes, cycling is generally a pain. It's not fun for anyone. It takes a long time, and generally people that are new to the hobby just want their fish NOW! If you do things right, you'll be happy in the long run.
BTW, could the OP use a dilute solution of bleach to clean everything? Then put a bunch of extra dechlorinator in afterword? (OP, don't try this until someone answers)
Oh well they are all still alive and kicking, and they are feeder fish, you get them for food. Torture? They are going in the city pond to be food for the bass.
