Hi,

NitrIte should always be 0 in a cycled tank.

NitrAte i think should be under 40 but wait for someone elses opinion on that one.

Ammonia should be 0 also

Yes that right.
Nitrate anything above 50 want's fetching down with water changes, what is your tap nitrate reading.

Though this can be very difficult to do if you have high nitrates in your tap water. I have just given up on the idea of ever keeping senitive fish such as rummynoses. Plants help though.
