The ammonia is being produced by your fish. You will need to do some more water changes because your ammonia is still very high & your fish is showing signs of ammonia poisoning. The Prime will help with toxicity but it only works up to @2ppm of ammonia- your levels are almost triple this. Water changes are the only way to reduce your ammonia levels. If its at 5ppm right now, a 50% wc will reduce this to 2.75ppm (with .25 in your tap). Two more 50% wcs after this should drop it below 1ppm.
