One of the clownfish is swimming a bit laboured. He seems to stick around a lot to the same area and just hang around there. The other guy is much more active and from time to time, he seems to bump into the other guy to get him moving. Not sure if it's anything to worry about. They were swimming much more actively yesterday though.

I also had added some flakes and some mysis shrimp to the tank yesterday, they didn't eat the flakes like I posted above. Today, I saw them try to eat a mysis but spat it right out, also the ammonia level has kicked up a bit ( still really low )due to the left over dead food, so i don't want to add anymore. Do you guys have any suggestions in regards to balancing out the feeding attempts / possible ammonia increases.

Ammonia level detectable? Yoiks. Sounds like your set up hasn't completely cycled yet. Could be bad news for the livestock. You might want to prepare for some water changes.
