Nitrate poisoning is an extended time, usually months of high nitrates. Usually the nitrates has to be above 100ppm for a length of time. You always want to keep nitrates below 50ppm in the least and 15-25ppm as a goal. Regular water changes will acomplish this.

Tiger barbs doing the handstands are normal from what I know of them and nothing to worry about. Not saying you do/don't have a problem but this is normal from my experience with tb's.

Did you mean nitrite poisoning by chance?

Hi, Nitrates are the last stage of the nitrogen cycle. Nitrate levels that are too high are toxic to fish. To learn more about the nitrogen cycle have a read of this:Safe Cycling
