Ammonia can be built up in them separately or the two together. Some species of fish produce more waste and therefore more ammonia than others, for example the goldfish. Turtles are also very wast producing and turtle tanks are often high in ammonia. All fish produce ammonia. So yes.

What is the form of nitrogenous waste that most fish give off?
Most fish excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of ammonia. Ammonia is highly toxic, but fish eliminate it primarily through the gills and some through the urine. Some fish species, particularly those living in environments with low water availability, convert ammonia to a less toxic form, such as urea or uric acid, before excreting it.

What is ammonia level in a fish tank?
Just as we put out bi products when we breath so do fish. They also poo and wee in their environment. These products of life become deadly poisonous Ammonia as they break down. In order for things like fish and plants to be able to live, Nature developed specific bacteria to change the deadly poisonous Ammonia into relatively harmless Nitrate in water. Then the nitrate can be used up as food for water plants and algae. A "cycled" filter is simply a filter that has been running for long enough to develop the natural bacteria that converts Ammonia into Nitrate. The over abundance of Nitrate can be removed by simply doing a weekly water change.
Does fish excretes solid or liquid Ammonia?
A fish actually excretes ammonia dissolved in water. At the temperature and pressure that fish are normally found ammonia is a gas.
