For the past 3 days I have not changed any water and my ammonia and nitrites have remained at 0. I used bio spira on the second week of the tank. Now I am at the 4th week and all my tests are 0 except for nitrates which are about 10 does this mean its done with the cycle

Now you need to get some fish in there to keep your good bacteria well fed.

well, sounds like mostly schooling fish, so if I had to add anything I would add more of the fish you have. the tetras usually like to hang around in a group of at least 6, so getting more of them would make sense. plus they will school for you if they have bigger numbers ;)
