Ok. So I got all excited when I came home from work this morning -
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 40

Then I added my sad looking java fern, plastic plants and pvc piping. I haven't tested my ammonia in ages because it was just always 0, so when I woke up this afternoon I thought I'd better check it to make sure it was still ok. Now it's at 0.25.

Should I start tearing my hair out and kicking the tank, or is it cycled and the plant has just made the ammonia rise a little?

Also, if it is finished can I stick a guppy in until I sort out some form of cooling? I bought them about a week and a half ago and they're currently living in another tank.

Thanks!
 
Yes put the guppy in, it won't do any harm. They may help with the last bit of cycling if you have to do any.
