Well, that might just be what's wrong with your fish, or at least part of what's wrong. If the tank is too young and does not have enough bacterias to handle such bioload, you are going to have ammonia in the water and that irritate and burn the gills.
If you don't see any physical sign like white dots or white velvety coat on the fish and they are scratching, it might just be ammonia upsetting them.
I don't think anyone has posted this to upset you or criticize you, it was just a good point to verify as it might just be the problem or a big part of it.

However that is not the issue. I did not post here to be heckled about my tank and its stock and maturity.
So I maintain my original question ,what is wrong with my fish and how do I fix it ??
