Firtsy I would get a water test done by another test kit to double check the peramiters . If they are correct then do much bigger water changes, at least 40% daily.

What signs are the fish showing? Are they still eating?

Tank not cycled. Need more water changes and more bio media.
Try adding beneficial bacteria..
How big is the tank?
Maybe start a drip system.

The tank has been running for 3 years?
Or you've had it for 3 years? How big are those fish?
What are you using to test and how old is the test kits?
What's your water testing at?
I would do larger w/c
