Guys i am suspecting of ammonia poisoning but no matter what i have done to reduce ammonia , it doesn't work.

Thoughts?

What's not working? The treatment or ridding your tank of ammonia? What are your water perimeters?

Fish are not getting any better. I can't get an ammonia test kit now. It will take several days but tap water having ammonia is unheard of hear. I used water conditioners to fix it too.

I checked nitrate levels and it is 0 .

These symptoms look like Bacterial Hemorrhagic Septicemia but i am not sure.

Is this a community tank? Do you know hardness of your water and pH? What other fish are in the tank?

I've heard many stories of trace amounts of ammonia being found in drinking water....

Looks like septicemia to me. I'd add some salt and/or melafix and see what happens then. If that doesn't do it then you need to move to a stronger antibiotic.

But yeah if you have ammonia problems then that's probably a large stressor that contributed to this opportunistic infection.
