Hi. Did fishless cycle readings ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 15 then added 1 betta 2 amano shrimp and 3 days later a long nosed snail iv had tank running with fish ect for 3 weeks now I'm doing 2 30% w/c a week ( I always treat water ) and the readings are ammonia 0.25 nitrite 0 nitrate 15. Why the trace of ammonia? I feed fish by hand so no left overs. P.s checked tap water for ammonia and it read 0. Tank is 7.5 gallon All seems well in tank no sign of stress or illness. Any help is appreciated on my fight against ammonia.

how long did you do the fishless cycle? if there isn't enough BB in the tank, it will cause a mini cycle adding new fish. i would do a 50% water change and keep an eye on the ammonia level.
