Ammonia Is Now At 0 But Nitrite Is At 5ppm?

[k9cop]

OK about a week ago my Ammonia and Nitrite levels were both high at 5ppm. I just tested my water tonight and my ammonia is now at 0 but my Nitrite is still at 5ppm. Is this the normal cycle of my new tank? I have a 10 gallon tank with one fish in it, it has been cycling for a couple of weeks now. Anything I should be doing to address the Nitrite?

It's a normal part of cycling. Nitrite inhibits a fish's blood cells from processing O2, increase aeration, and continue daily water changes.

Here's a chart for ya;

Just keep letting it cycle. I personally wouldnt add any more fish until it is at zero but it will go away on its own.
