I have a 10 gallon tank with 6 fancy guppies in it. These are my readings. Am I almost done with my cycle or is it just starting.

If my tank is about done would it be safe to add my corydoras this weekend. I am also wondering if I can add any other fish to the tank to give it some more life. The guppies are more of a smaller shape and I was wondering if there was a bigger fish that would go well with them. Thanks.
 
You are not cycled! PLEASE do not add more fish!!!!

The "cycle" is complete when ammonia and nitrites read ZERO for at least 1 week. This normally takes 4-6 weeks to complete.

As for corys, you only have a 10g. With your 6 guppie bioload, a school of corys would be too much. If you are looking for bottom feeders, add a few ghost shrimp, or cherry shrimp, or a snail.
