Hello, I've been cycling my Rio 180 with 5 Clown Rasboras, but it's been three weeks now and the water quality is still pretty much normal. Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0 (was a tiny bit last week, but nothing now), and there's always Nitrate as it's in my tap water. PH is slightly high as my cement background is buffering it so I add a PH 7.0 regulator to keep it down.

Last week a few of the fish got a bit nippy with each other and one had a little trouble keeping upright, but seems fine now and only act like this if the ph gets too high.

Should I be expecting a ammonia spike soon?

I think you're already cycled. Test a few more times to be sure, and by different people is possible.
