Daily partial water changes are the key to lowering high levels of Ammonia, Nitrate, and Nitrite.

There is no other viable solution. The tank should have been cycled before breeding was attempted or fry were put in there.

10 gallons? Put two tablespoons of salt in the tank, preferably pre-melted. That will help keep the nitrite from being able to kill your fish while your tank continues it's cycling.
Cut down on the amount you are feeding the fish.
Watch your nitrite and don't let it get any higher.

i dont think you can make it stop nipping unless you put it in a time out tank or soemthing usually the nipping stop after a while...

Nipping is somthing individual to the fish. Some hardly ever do it some are very bad at it. He is trying to be king of the tank or mark his territory with the others.
