Yeah, lots of people make the same mistakes. I did. I had 2 F8s in a 16g tank, where they'd really need at least 20-25g. And I didn't know about cycling. Fortunately, I'd at least looked into the water conditions and feeding needs of these guys. If I'd relied on the lfs, I would have been feeding flake and frozen brine shrimp and using aquarium salt! But, you've come here, so you're doing the right thing.

I'd recommend stopping feeding all freeze dried foods, unless you soak them first and also feed frozen and live foods.

I remember living in the country and driving 2mph behind the neighbor's son, who was driving the stud bull to the next pasture...

And I was in bazil's boat a few weeks ago. It kinda sucks, killing your first fish, but I think most of us do it... Don't stress about it. Just do your best, and if it doesn't work this time, you can try again.
