My Silver Molly is swimming upside down, I lost one last night and it had the EXACT same symptoms.

Silver Molly that is swimming upside down
The PH is 7.6, Amounium is going from 0-2.0, Nitrite is 0-0.5 and Nitrate is usually 0-.5.
The tank is 55 gallons, and has been setup for about 2 weeks.
I believe our filter is a Tetra whisper EX70 or 75
All the fish are under 3 inches, we have 1 BN Pleco, 2 Silver mollys, 2 sailfin mollys, 3 MM platies, 5 head and taillight tetra, 4 harlequin rasboras and 3 swordtails.
We have been doing water changes every other day or every 3 days becasue the amounium is high, we always vaccum the sand and we do 20-40% changes.
We've had the fish for 2 weeks, he was in our first batch. We acclimated him by floating the bag for a while and then adding water.
We have added 2 different plants, Java Fern and Java Moss.
We have been feeding "New Life Spectrum Optimum fresh H20 flakes" and Sinking pellets.
I will upload a video of him swimming.
