I second Iain. Be careful when adding new fish, as the ammonia level
is becoming elevated.

I totally disagree. Adding more fish after the cycleing has begun, even

when
it's beginning slowly as it is in your case, is a recipe for disaster.

Once
you add that first small batch of fish, it's best to leave things as they
are until ammonia and nitrites are zero, and nitrates are rising.
Better yet, use fishless cycling in the future.

ummm that's pretty much what I said....be careful about adding more fish!
