The conjugate acid of #NH_3# is #NH_4^+#, ammonium ion; the conjugate base is #NH_2^-#, amide ion.

Explanation:

The amide ion does not exist in aqueous solution. Nor does the imide ion, #NH^(2-)#, nor does azide ion, #N^(3-)# (which are the conjugate bases of which species?). In pure liquid ammonia these species might well exist.
