Chlorine affect regular water tests?

[OnceLoyal]

So I am a little confused and can't remember back in the day of my hardcore fish keeping.

On my 4th day of tank up with fish cycling. 1st pic shows current aquarium water conditions. The pic is showing a little darker than what I see in the real and now.

Estimate
Ammonia at less than .25ish or right there abouts
Nitrite at .35ish
Nitrates at 7ish

2nd pic shows my tap water. WTF.
I wish I would have tested my tap a while back.

Ammonia at .5 ish
Nitrite at not sure
Nitrates at least 5

Is chlorine messing with my tests?
So I have this cr@p in my drinking water? Glad I filter everything lol.

This is tap

So I have more ammonia in my tap?? Lol

Ok, so sorry guys I jumped the gun a bit, but still need help understanding something. Chloramine and ammonium are added which will obviously give a reading.
So what about the nitrates. I guess that would be a concern. My aquarium is reading less than tap on ammonia and nitrite, but what the hell with the nitrates. How to get rid of them if they are in the tap. I k ow I am very tired, up late and not thinking straight so I would still like so.e opinions if anyone is on

So I decided to use the search function on here!! I see we've discussed this before and I am basically just talking to myself. (I can't sleep right now). I see some people are much worse in their are so I should be happy I guess.
I will perform no water change tonight and probably not for a few days (i hope) and by the looks of things for 4 days into a cycle things are going pretty good

Since it normally takes 4 to 8 weeks to cycle tank, you may be jumping the gun quite a bit.
But Chloramine will cause an ammonia reading on your test, and water plants normally add 1 part ammonia to 4 or 5 parts chlorine to get the proper disinfectant chloramine compound residual. My tests would average 0.2 ppm ammonia direct from the tap, as my water provider also added chloramine.
At 4 days start up, your cycling is just beginning.
To be totally cycled your tank and filters will need a large population of nitrite and ammonia comsuming bacteria to be present, this takes time, not days, sometimes weeks, or more than a month to grow that large enough population of bacteria to use all the ammonia the fish produce.
