OK, now for test results:
Ammonia>0.25 > Nutrfin>0.1
Nitrite>0.50
Nitrate>5.0-10
After all that test and cycle on a 5g tank, it hit me, I want a bigger tank 200g lol.

Lol who doesn't want a bigger tank?
Is the nutrfin measured in ppm that's a big difference between the two tests

Its 0-6.1 mg/L

1mg/l = 1 ppm so one test is 2.5 times higher at 0.25ppm and 0.1 mg/l

I believe your nitrites should be zero if your tank is cycled.

What are you using to cycle your tank a raw shrimp? Because I know that first you need to introduce something to make your ammonia spike, then when it comes to zero your nitrites should spike and then the nitrates should rise and that's when you do your first water change to take them to zero. But your ammonia is not at zero yet right?

Have you used both the ammonia test again? I'm curious to see how they both read at high ammonia levels.

The Nutrafin showed me a 0 today, the Api is between 0 and 0.25.

At that size it looks like a few different snails. You can't be sure till they get a little bigger. Or till you see their feeding habits.
