I have a 10G with 3 platies in it.
I started the cycle 2 months ago. I have tested daily and every once in a while I would get a 0.25 Ammonia. At this point I would change 25% of my water.
Over the past 7 days I have been getting the following readings:
0.25 Ammonia
0 Nitrite
5.0 Nitrate
My understanding was that Ammonia will go up, it will be transformed in Nitrite and Nitrate. So why do I have Ammonia and Nitrate, but no Nitrite?
Am I doing something wrong? Please advise. Thanks!
