Added new fish to aquarium, fish are “bobbing” on top. CO2 for plants added. Is what I did right?

Okay so I have a 20 gallon “beginner aquarium,” I added fish to it when I first got it and all but 3 died. Today ( a month later) I added more fish to it plus aquatic plants. I was told to add CO2 tablets for the plants. I did (2 tablets, 1 for every 10 gallons) and soon after the fish started bobbing on top of the water lever, not all but the majority are. I suspect this is because the CO2 caused an oxygen deprivation.. Either that or ammonia is high. I performed a 20% water change and also added biological aquarium supplement and a double dose of water conditioner in an effort to lower the pH or ammonia if it is high. The aquarium is about a month old so I do not think that the nitrogen cycle is a major factor. I’m hoping that the water change will increase the oxygen (if needed). Is there anything else I can do? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks guys! I’ll return the favor by answering your questions.

Two days after I cleaned my fish tank, it developed froth and bubbles at the top. What is it?

This has never happened before. The water also seems cloudy. I have an odd combo of fish in my tank, but they have all been together for about 1 1/2 years and the tank was given to me as an established tank. I didn’t do anything different than I usually do.

Pets that live can in a 29 gallon aquarium with a screened top.?

I have a 29 gallon aquarium and was looking to buy a pet to go into it. I was thinking about pets like bearded dragons, a tarantula, a box turtle, or something exotic like that. Thanks for your help you guys!!

My fish tank is cloudy and has small bubbles at the top..?

I have a blackmoor, an albino goldie, and a pearlscale. My blackmoor had been treated for fin rot a few weeks ago, but that was in a seperate tank.. Is there any reason my water is so foggy? Is my moor sick again?
I’ve got a filter in there.. It’s a Tetra Whisper.. My tank is 16 gallons.

What is a medicated bath?
By the way, two of my fish are less than an inch long.
