You still need to stay on top of your water changes! It takes a while to do a cycle with fish but you're definitely making progress!

how often do i need to do water changes?

 

[rdd1952]

You need to do water changes often enough to keep the levels from getting much higher that what they are now. You definitely don't want them to get over .5 ppm.

is the tank nearly cycled?

 

[rdd1952]

Since you have nitrate, I'd say you are close. If course,you will only be cycled for the fish you currently have. When you add more fish, you will create a mini cycle but it shouldn't be nearly as bad or as long.
