The nitrate is not to much trouble but the amonia you need to get that down to 0 ASAP and stop feeding till the amonia is at 0 again have you had a scrape done to check for any parasites? if not it might be a good idea and as its 25 years it might just be down to old age and is just passing on as you say all your other fish are ok.
