The nitrate levels will continue to rise in concentration for the life of your tank. It's not normally poisonous to fish until it gets above a certain point. We change water to dilute those levels so they don't suffocate the fish. You should be doing 15% water changes about every 2 weeks. 3 months between water changes is wayyyy too long. The smaller your tank, the more frequently you should be doing water changes as smaller ecosystems are more subject to drastic spikes/changes in your water chemistry.
