Testing your water regularly is the reason for an aquarist's success.
The main test that you should consider doing is NO3 (Nitrate). This is because Nitrates is a slow killier to fish. It affects the fish's gills and it slowly kills them.
Nitrites (NO2) and Ammonia (NH3/NH4) are fast killers to fish. However, you will visibly see when there are an abundance of Ammonia or Nitrites as your tank will appear cloudy.
You should also test your pH regularly to not get any surprises from shock.

The Essential Guide to pH Testing for Aquariums
Why pH Testing Matters:Maintaining proper pH levels is one of the most crucial aspects of aquarium care. pH affects fish health, biological filtration, and overall water quality.
Testing Frequency:
New Aquariums: Test daily during the critical cycling phase
Established Tanks: Test weekly to monitor stability
Simple 5-Step Testing Process:
Fill the test vial to near the top with aquarium water
Add precisely one pump of testing solution
Wait 30 seconds for color development
Compare to the color chart for accurate reading
Prime the pump by dispensing one test into the sink before first use
Pro Tip: Always test at the same time of day, as pH naturally fluctuates slightly with lighting and plant activity.
Remember: Sudden pH changes can stress aquatic life. If levels are unstable, test more frequently and address the underlying cause.
