you need to purchase liquid water tests for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate...your tank being 4 weeks old with all those fish, I am very surprised none died for I am sure the ammonia levels were very high. consider yourself very lucky
if you get the liquid water tests (not strip tests for liquid is much more accurate), can you give me the readings on the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.
when you do your water change, 25% per week, test the water before the water change (you don't have to test every day)
in time, you will get a bigger tank...this is cool
for now, let me know your water tests, I'll or others will tell you if your water is healthy for your fish, where you are in your cycling process and what if anything you should further do, okay?
