Answer
Hi there,
I found your Pic and sent you a PM as well so look for that.
I'm just not sure about your loner fish. It would be better to post a pic on the forum.

Very large water changes are definately in order for the high nitrites and nitrates. At least 50% or more.

It may seem like one thing after another. But this is only because your aquarium hasn't finished cycling. You'll need to have lots of patience, do plenty of water testing and water changes, and asking questions. Soon everything will come 'as a breeze' and your aquarium will settle down.

Best wishes,
Karen~
