Hello. I am currently doing a fish-in cycle with a 20 gallon Freshwater tank. I am using 2 zebra danios, in which I plan on keeping after the cycle is complete. I am using the Api Master test kit. So far, the cycle has been going on for two months and two weeks. I started the cycle on December 3rd 2014. I am a little confused about what is going on in my tank. I followed the proper procedures of doing and 25-30% water change everyday to reduce the ammonia amounts to under .25 ppm.* After one month the ammonia levels finally dropped to zero. Another month and two weeks passed with the dropped ammonia and the nitrites and nitrate have not appeared. Two days ago, I tested the ammonia and it rose to about* . 25 ppm and has stayed that way ever since .* There are no nitrites or nitrates present. This confuses me. Why did my the ammonia rise again?? Shouldn't the nitrite have appeared? The fish are ok. Please help.
