Hi, Welcome to the site....5 days is way too soon to add fish. You will have to do daily water changes if you want them to live. What size tank is this and what kind of test kits are you using?
Your fish are not trying to eat off the surface they are seeking air, the ammonia in your tanks is increasing as the tank begins to cycle, ammonia and nitrite are deadly to your fish.
