Tank data not changing

I have had my 20 gallon tank for two weeks now. I am currently cycling it with 5 zebra danios. For two weeks my stats have not changed. My ammonia is either.25 or .50. I do a 25% water change when its at .50 and a 10% water change when its at .25. The ph is always 6.8 and the nitrite and nitrate are always at zero. Is their something wrong because the ammonia is not changing. I use two filters, one penguin biowheel filter and one top fin power filter. My fish seem fine and i have had no casualties yet. I feed them 1-2 a day but for the last 3 days i have not fed them. And yes, i do use a dechlorinator that gets rid of chlorine and chloramines (my water company doesnt use chloramines though)
I have not been using any medications.

Photos are down the page

Here is my ammonia tests in order from day 1-15
