Fish continually release ammonia into the aquarium through their gills, urine and solid waste. Uneaten food and decaying organic matter also add ammonia to the water. Ammonia is toxic to fish and can cause gill damage, stress and death. Regular testing is recommended because ammonia levels can build quickly due to fish waste and uneaten food. Simply dip the test strip into the water, then compare the results with the precise, easy-to-read color-coded chart to determine if any action should be taken. The chart includes recommendations on how to treat the water and neutralize ammonia. Safe for use in fresh and salt water. With API aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium. For almost 60 years API has developed premium solutions with proven and effective results for your family and ours. API offers a range of testing kits, water conditioners, and nutritionally superior food, because we’re dedicated to making a better underwater world. They work to provide a safe, hospitable environment for fish such as tropical community fish, cichlids, goldfish and more. At API, we understand the rewards and relaxation of fishkeeping because we have a passion for fish too. Review: Very easy and effective - The ammonia test strips are affective and easy to use. The API ammonia test strips test for both NH3 and NH4. They come in a nice sturdy tube that seals well. Just don’t stick wet fingers in the tube you’ll mess up all your test strips. Just dip for 5 seconds then hold strip level and wait 60 seconds. I recommend using these along side with 5 in 1 API test strips :) very easy and definitely recommend!

The strips are not nearly as accurate. Just buy the API Freshwater Master Test Kit. In my experience the none of the test strips are not accurate as the drops. **Q: Will this item test for cyanobacteria?** A: No, the ph test kit will not test for cyanobacteria. **Q: Do these measure total amonia (tan) or just free amonia?** A: API Ammonia Test strips reads total ammonia. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very easy and effective *by E***H on August 14, 2026* The ammonia test strips are affective and easy to use.
