The whole story is here: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forum...just-starting-feeding-questions-335086-3.html

Nitrites and Nitrates finally showing up. I'm hitting the 40 days from aquarium day 0.



Looks to me as 1ppm of nitrite and 5ppm of nitrate. I did 25% WC for the past 3 days in a row, ammonia is rising back to 1ppm to 2ppm daily.

Fish are eating. 3 days ago they were looking like they were losing colors, but they look good again. There's a lot of activity in the aquarium and they look happy.

I also reduced the feeding to once a day.

Should I change more of the water?
 
I would increase water changes to 50% in order to get the ammonia and nitrite down a bit. It looks like things are coming along nicely though.
