My ammonia level, test strips

[pettygil]

I tried to take a photo of my color chart but it was Blurry. So I will tell you what it means and then take a photo of the color of the stick, to see where my ammonia levels are, in the tank.
First color is super light green and is ideal 0 ammonia
2nd color is light green and is: 0.5 is safe
3rd color is dark green and is: 1.0 stress
4th color is really dark green and is: 3.0 harmful
5th color is the last color is super dark green and is: 6.0 Danger.

Now I will post a photo of the stick color:

I agree with above, test strips are often unreliable, but based on what I can see in the photo it appears that there is ammonia present in the tank. Any ammonia at all is not ideal and probably means the tank is not fully cycled.
