They are not "stupid" remarks. If you'd given us the right information in the first place then we'd have been able to answer you yesterday instead of wasting a day dragging info out of you. If you'd given us enough information, it would require the use of several paragraphs. Now go and explain to your fish how it is in agony b/c you were too lazy to write more!
This is a user moderated site and the users here prefer you to use proper English, correct spelling and punctuation and the all important paragraphs. Makes reading so much easier and seeing as how we give advice for free, you might be mindful of your manners - yep, you picked a BAD day to make that comment as right now I've had it with rude people!
Sounds like you don't need a picture as I think you just answered it yourself - Ammonia!
Ammonia is deadly. It is even more deadly at higher temperatures and higher pH but toxicity decreases with salinity.
Is this a new tank cycling? Have you read about tank cycling/new tanks?
You have to get those ammonia levels down. I've heard it suggested here before that a short term fix is something like Ammolock which will bind up the ammonia for a bit. Water changes will decrease the ammonia but increase the time it takes for your tank to cycle.
You could also try slowely lowering your temp to maybe 20c to decrease toxicity.
Ammonia attacks and destroys the mucous membranes of the skin and intestine. It can also damage the brain and central nervous system and make the fish more vulnerable to disease including fin rot.
Now go and grab some humility and wait and see if someone way more knowledgable than me can tell you exactly how to save your fish.
