Aquatic Plant Fertilizer & Fish

Does anyone know if Little Giant Aquatic Plant Fertilizer (10-14-8) can be
used in a planted aquarium with fish? I bought it for a pond but I'm having
problems with algae in my tank and I thought it might be because I've been
using liquid plant food. I can't find any aquarium plant tablets around here
and thought this might work. TIA

Good question... The label says : Derived from: Ammonium Phosphate,Potassium
Nitrate, Urea Formaldehyde, Manganese Sulfate, Iron Sulfate, Zinc Sulphate,
Copper Sulfate, Boric Acid, and Sodium Molybdenum. Does that help?

Yeah, don't use it. Any form of ammonia or ammonium is to be avoided.

Urea is also ammonia for all intents and purposes.

I see those 3 number on a lot of fertilizers. The FloraPride that I
use has 0-0-3, but I'm not sure what all that means. LFS guy told me
it would help the plants, but not start an algae bloom.

Any idea what the 3 different numbers indicate?

Thanks.

Nitrogen - Phosphorus - Potash (potassium or K).

Usually fishtanks have plenty of nitrogen and phosphorus so you want to
only add potash. I think the numbers are percentage by weight, but
hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
