2 assassin snails
2 spotted danios
20 gallon
2 white cloud minnows

? snails
2.5 gallon: 3-5 unknown fry
bucket: zebra danio fry

Nitrate: 5
Nitrite: 0
Ammonia: ~ 0.02
Ph: 7.0
P.S. Another danio died no symptoms and I think I just figured out the problem the two fish that did not have a red spot were both about 2 years old but looked like they were six months old and died of stunting. The other one I did some research on and found a disease that was very close if not the same to what i saw on my fish the name of the disease escapes me but it only affects certain fish with weaker immunity.

My pleco died  . I noticed that my air pump was not pumping a lot of air that probably killed the pleco but I just got a second air pump good for up to 100 gallons and 4 new air stones which are doing great and two new lights special for fish and plants which made the water appear tinted tannish-green.

I'm sorry that I have a lot of questions for you, but answering these questions might help find out what is really going on in your tank. How often are you doing water changes and how much? When you clean your tank do you vacuum the gravel? How long has the tank be set up for? The ammonia is what I'm concerned with. If this is an established tank you should never have any ammonia. Even a slight amount can be detrimental to your tank.

The tank is well cycled and I when I change the water I vacuum the gravel.

Then I think that you have found the issue. Even though the tank is 55 gallon, water changes should be done weekly. Like I said you should never have that much ammonia in your tank. It either comes from a tank not cycled, large addition to the bio load in the form new fish being added or an over abundance of food.
