    does it look like they have little white patches??? they might have ich I would set up a hospital tank and treat all the fish in that tank and keep them in there for about eight weeks if is ich you have to act fast.

    I would keep an eye on them. if they start to get white patches I would quarantine them. you might want to turn your light cycle down by a couple of hours also this will releive some stress.

    Did i read that right... ammonia @ 20ppm?? Thats nearing leathally toxic levels! If that was not a typo start doing water changes immedately find an d remove the source of the ammo.
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.
