benny if you're using biospira you can put in a few fish 24 hours later. If you don't have any fish producing waste your tank can't cycle.

Add biospira and add just a few sacrificial fish the next day. Wait a few weeks before adding any more fish.

Don't do any WC's the first week or so to let the bacteria culture setup.

if after 2 months and everything else is fine (fish doing well, eating, etc, - as you report) could be your test kit giving a false reading, which is certainly not unheard of

otherwise, you havent completed the cycling process and trouble could be brewing. keep an eye on your fish, they are the best indicator of whether they are happy or not.
