The ammonia levels are a bit of a worry for me as are the nitrites. Anything much more than 0ppm will damage your fish. You need to be doing daily water changes of about 15% and testing ammonia and nitrite levels on a daily basis for the time being. If these levels exceed 0.25ppm at any point then you need to be doing another water change. Have you only recently set the tank up or just added a new group of new fish?
