Could be ammonia, low oxygen or a disease. Your nitrate and phosphate won't give you any insight.
Test ammonia, make sure you have sufficient surface disruption from a powerhead or the filter.

Do a water change.
 
Agreed that’s a rare ammonia sign, post full tank pics too
 
+1 to test ammonia and perform a water change. Closely check your fish for any diseases
