Water Test Results Help.

I recently upgraded my 20gallon tank to a 50 gallon. 2 days after transferring everything these are my readings.

Ph 7.8
Ammonia 0ppm
Nitrite .5ppm
Nitrate 10ppm

Going on what i know, i would say i've got enough Nitrite bacteria to get rid of all the ammonia but my Nitrate's haven't caught up to the Nitrites yet. Am i correct? And will the Nitrite level hurt my fish? Do i need to do anything or just leave it until the Nitrates build up more?

The short answer is that I personally would not worry too much. However depending on how heavily the tank is stocked some care should be taken. Keep up with your water changes

I've got 13 small to medium sized tetras in the tank. They all look in good health so far.
