i am 2 weeks into a fish in cycle and my ammonia is .25/.5 (i find it tricky to tell with the color chart but i think it is closer to .25), nitrite .25 and nitrate o.
i havent bothered testing ph levels yet.
daily 20%water changes.
i am doing daily water changes, are these results okay?

Provided the pH is below about 7.5, the ammonia level is fine.
But nitrite is verging on being too high. Once nitrite gets into the fish's blood, it takes a long time for it to come out so you need to make sure it never gets higher than 0.25. Maybe increase your water changes to nearer 50%.

thanks, just tested my PH and its fine.
no fish casualties so far, had a case of white spot and dealt with it, all the fish seem to be ok.
