Are the fish’s gills red or inflamed by chance?
If you are getting false ammonia readings and the vessels become infected, the fish will become infected
Spoiled fish food can increase ammonia drastically. With effects of high ammonia, the fish will breathe more quickly; you will seem them flap their gills more rapidly than normal. Fish may also gasp at the surface of the water. In mild cases, fish may become lethargic and hid in the recesses of an aquarium. Invertebrates may shrink back, retracting tentacles. Invertebrates become less responsive in the presence of ammonia. The biggest sign of ammonia poisoning
Please note that I’m listing this as a possibility and not likelihood that this is what’s happening
