It will help out tremendously with the cycle, I also have had luck using the product Fluval Cycle at the same time as using established media.
First of all you started completely wrong.
When beginning or establishing a tank put the water with benificial bacteria in the tank and let your filter run for around 6 weeks after which you do every 2 weeks a 25% water change. This is the way and only way to establish a tank with beneficial bacteria. Your pet store sucks for not telling you this.
You went completely past this and also loaded fish in there. I advise you to at least do 25% water changes on a weekly basis for 2 months to make sure your remaining fish survive. Do not put new fish or frogs in there.
Help your fish by putting some live plants in there, which will give the water extra oxygen.
To dechlorine your water I advise purchasing this:

To fight nitrate I advise you buy some “live Marimo balls” and just put them in there. It’s not going to absorb all the nitrate but it helps and is beautiful.
Google is your friend and do research.
You’ll get there
Just to be sure! In the future you will need to clean your filter as well. Never ever do this with tap water, because you then open the gates of hell upon your fish. When cleaning your filter always do this with water you took out of your tank.
Is the Fruval starter bacteria? If so, you'll still need to add a water conditioner to remove Chlorine and Chloramines from the water. I don't know much about sorority tanks but from what I read here you need to have enough girls to establish a pecking order and 2 wouldn't be enough. From what I read you'd want to have at least 3 together to have a proper hierarchy.
EDIT: is this what you added? That is a water conditioner too!
What is it, Fluval Cycle? If so, it should be fine.
