Ammonia is a very deadly thing to fish. It damages gills and tissues of the fish.

Nitrites destroy hemoglobin in the blood, reducing oxygen that can be carried. NitrItes are by far, much more dangerous.
*Some fish will die from *just traces of it.
10 ppm is totally toxic.

All I want to say, and then I will be quiet, is don't say that is doing a good job. That is not a good job.That is deadly levels, even if by mistake. It would be a good job , if the fish were NOT in there. :-X
