bicolor parrot
spotted puffer
coral beauty
flame hawk
royal gramma
wrasse

What exactly did you do to clean your tank? What type of tank do you have? Is it possible that you have something that is dead or dying off and haven't noticed it?
A tank that's a yr old should not have an ammonia spike like that except if something fairly significant happened.
