To all intents and purposes they do the same thing in your tank and that is poison the water and kill the fish. NH3 is ammonia and is the product of fish breathing in Alkaline water. NH4 is ammonium and occurs as a result of fish breathing in Acid water. These naturally occurring products of aquatic life must be removed by some means. The bacteria that form in a biological filter convert both NH3 and NH4 into NO2 (nitrite) which is also poisonous and then convert the NO2 into NO3 (nitrate) which is relatively harmless and can be used up by plants
