Pretty sure my water is good since I used seachem stability for a week. I think she is just still sick from being exposed to ammonia before my tank was cycled. I don't have a test kit to test the water.
What is wrong with her?

If you don't have a test kit to test the water, it's not going to get you very far in troubleshooting the problem. The tank looks cloudy in the pictures -- is it?
When's the last time you did a water change? How much? How often? What size tank, what are the tankmates, have you added any fish recently? People will need more info to help you diagnose the problem.

Never assume the water is good just because you use some magic chemical. As far as im concerned all those tank cycling chems are garbage. Call me old school.. But I cycle a tank doing a full cycle. Having basic tests for water peramiters is very important.
You really should test the water and id recommend changing it. Fish will most likely need treatment. Need to get a better look at the spot.

Tank isn't cloudy. Just a bad camera.
Changed water yesterday I change about 18 gallons out of 55 with a 18gal Rubbermaid tub
Tank mates are 1 other bp
2 pink convicts
1 rose queen (small)
1 synodontis cat
1 geophagus jurupari
2 silver dollars
1 bristlenose pleco
1 black skirt tetra
1 panda Cory cat
No fish added recently.
That's quite a stock list for a 55. Check your water and make sure the tank is fully cycled. I would Isolate the affected fish in to a Hospital tank and start by treating with 1 tablespoon of aquarium salt per 5 gallons of water. You may need meds for this, see how it does for a couple of days with the salt, then we can revisit this. The tank is overstocked and your water change % isn't enough for all those fish. You will need to do more frequent water changes I would suggest two @ 50% each week to create a better environment.
Stability is snakeoil, I recently tested it on 3 different new tanks from 10 to 75 gallons. I'll admit it did cycle a little faster, but I ended up having to use two full bottles over a 2.5 week period. This means it cycled in a little less time than it would have regularly (by about a week.) I would test that water, I doubt it is cycled, especially with that stock list. The tanks I used it in were lightly stocked.
While I do not think it helped with the cycle, I do think it helped the fish deal with it. They showed no negative side affects that usually accompany a fish living through a tank cycle. I think its just some sort of water conditioner to get them through the worst of it.

If the fish hasn't shown any improvemet you could start treating with a combination of Metronidazole and Furan-2. It looks like the fish has Hexamita (HITH) and treantment needs to bigin immediatly.
