My Low Light 10 Gallon

Alright the pics are finally IN!!!!
So I went with a little bit bigger of a stock than I originally planned on going with. I just tested the water and the params are at 0 0 20, so I am in good shape thus far.
Here is the stock today:
3 White Cloud Minnows (Never thought I would keep them, but they looked pretty neat in person)
2 Bumblebee Gobies (Brackish will come over time, They are small and at the store they had them in fresh. Very active so far!)
Heres some pics
I moved the driftwood down a little bit to open up some more top space for the white clouds. I was definately thinking about getting some plants to line the inside rock wall so it is not so open.
So far everyone seems to be getting along. I am pretty sure that one of the bumblebee's snagged a convict fry from the bottom as well.
Let me know what you guys think!

That's pretty cool . I never thought I would keep whiteclouds either and saw them in the store the other day and got 10 for the 30 gal. They are pretty fish.
They really are cool. And cheap may i add.
I am searching for some mini pellia for the back wall. I would like to create a mossy looking wall.
If anyone can help me shed some light on a topic here.....
My ammonia has been spiking really bad lately. I have been doing 50-70% water changes for the last three days and can't seem to get the ammonia to go down. Nitrites and Nitrates are in normal conditions. I can't seem to figure out the problem.
From API liquid test kit:
Ammonia: 2ppm (Tested at this for three straight days now)
Nitrates: 0
Nitrite: (barely registers)
The tank was put through a fishless cycle when it was just sitting for a month. It has been over 1 week now since the fish were introduced. Anubias plants look healthy so I don't think they are causing the problem. The rotala that I just added is losing some of the bottom leaves. I am just thinking that this is normal since it was grown emersed and now is submersed. The driftwood was boiled for 3 hours before placing it in the tank. I do 15% water changes every week, and stir the sand up every two weeks. Lights are left on for 9 hours a day. Everyone is swimming around like it is no big deal. Is there something in the tank that I need to be looking for?
What could be the problem?
