Whats NOONE? Re explain what you are trying to say. And typing in call caps is considered yelling, which is rude.
do a 50% water change, I am guessing that you have REALLY high ammonia. do it fast and keep testing the water until you get it down. Ammonia deprives water of O2 so that is why your fish are doing that good luck
If the fish are gasping and going out of the water it can be a few thing. If they are just hanging around at the top it could be something else. We need more info.
Some people are computer illiterate and don't know that. What size tank do you have. What type of filtration, what kind of fish, how long have they been doing this? Any other symptoms? Will they eat. You need to give more information as it could be multiple things. Water parameters, water temprature,ect.
still confused

What kind of Tetra?
African Dwarf Frog?
What kind of algae eater?'
Most of the fish you have are schooling fish that need to be keeped in groups of 6 or more. I would try to return all the fish, and stock with some more appropriate fish for the tank.
