So I have a 20g tank that just finished cycling. 0 ammonia 0 nitrites and under 10 nitrates.
Temp is around 80 degrees. pH is about 8

Just acclimated the fish.
Got 3 black mollies and 1 swordtail that were already in a tank together and were very active at the store.
And hour later I have 1 molly just chillin at the top not moving much. 1 molly on the bottom corner not moving much. 1 molly in between some fake plants but also not moving much and the swordtail is all over the place lol.
Is there anything I can do or just wait it out and see if anything changes?
I just cycled the tank. Added 2ppm ammonia 48 hours ago and it dropped to 0 after like 30 something hours then did the massive water change. And am using prime as a water conditioner. Is this normal for new fish? And when should I turn on the light and feed them? Will they die or eventually get adapted?
 
Also they were all schooling together at the store but now all seperate
