So I went back to the store and they didn't have the one that I had remembered but I was able to get 2 of them that still look great. They are Sp 44s (thanks jmats!). I included a picture of one of them and really appreciate all the help! Thanks everyone!
Those all look close but can't quite say for sure. All those fish are really nice looking though.
I'm taking a half day at work tomorrow so I can go to the store and check them out as well as pick a few of them up! I will post pictures tomorrow but don't hold it against me if one of you hit...
The LFS is about 45 minutes away and I didn't buy them. Trying to find it so I can research it some more. If I had a picture I would definitely post it.
Hoping someone can lead me in the right direction. I was at my LFS yesterday and saw a beautiful fish that I was very interested in. However I didn't pull the trigger and got home and forgot their name. I called the LFS today and the guy has no idea what I was talking about so hopefully someone...
Well another week into this enigma and all the levels are staying at 0. Added some glow light tetras and everyone is living nice and happy in there and eating no problem. I'll continue to monitor for the next few weeks but seems like everything is under control for me.
Sorry I didn't see the edit. I believe it was due to a fish dying in the back of the tank. I had already planned on moving to the 29 gallon this weekend (was just finishing up the DIY stand build) or else I would have stuck with the 10 gallon and figured out what happened.
However I still...
Lol that's exactly where I am just completely puzzled at the whole thing. The master test kit I'm using I just bought a week ago and the expiration date is 09/19.
I follow the instructions to the t and made sure to beat up the nitrate bottle 2 pretty good per a lot of other articles I've read...
I wish I could tell you I knew what happened. I put the ammonia in went to bed then work for home and tested everything at 0. After having the guppies in for about 10 hours I came home and tested again with everything at 0. Even included pictures of the tests with both strips and the master test...
When I took everything down from the 10 gallon I did find some fish bones that got stuck in the back under neath the cave and I am assuming that is the reason it had shot up.
My water changes are about 40% every other week.

I tested again after the addition of the ammonia. Everything still tested out at all 0s.
I went to my LFS this morning and they suggested adding some guppies (also one of the planned fish in the tank). I added 5 guppies and will continue to monitor tonight.
I'm still confused on what exactly...
Thanks everybody for the awesome responses. I added some ammonia last night and will test this afternoon to see where everything is!

Hey guys looking for some help on setting up/cycling a new tank. (Sorry for the length).
I had a 10 gallon tank with guppies that was great for over a year until last week where right after a water change the ammonia shot up and I was unable to save the fish in time.
I am setting up a new 29...
