i said that the NitrIte is 0 and NitrAte 5.0 and i ran out of anmo drops on bottle 2 and i brought a lil mate snapper anmo alert to put in the fish tank and it reads yellow which is the same as 0 anmo and i add fish to the tank anyways  they are common small goldfish the cheap once for .38 cents that way if they die i want lose no money on them.

You must have gotten something mixed up cause the above would indicate that the tank was cycled.  But yeah, NitrIte is deadly and is also an indicator that the tank isn't cycled.

NitrAte is not toxic at 5.0 but NitrIte is. NitrIte is toxic to many species at 1.0.

Bichers are highly addictive. Prehistoric looking, full of attitude, what's not to love?
