Not necessarily yasher....my 5ft read Amm 0 NitrI 0 but still had 80+ppm NitrA

of course it is best to test for nitrate too...but usually if the ammonia and nitrite is 0, nitrate should be about 40 ppm unless of course there are no live plants, then of course, the nitrates can be lethal

The 5ft was fully planted and the nitrA was high. Something that caught me unawares....so yeah...do not assume its all good without having the proper test done. Sorry but thats just all guess work, but when fish are dying you need proper facts not assumptions :)

I agree there Alasse, if a fish dies or becomes suddenly ill the first thing to do is test the water
