Does this seem cycled just curious

i can't seem to get the ammonia down to 0 but i cant detect if thats 0.25 or lower doesnt look like any of the other ones and ive tested it everyday it went up to 4 ppm now it seems stuck at around 0.25.. nitrite was at 2.0 ppm awhile ago now for the past 2 days its at 0. Just curious if you think its ready for fish thanks.

The point in time readings look good. To find out if the tank is ready for fishes, I would do a 24 hour test. Dose 1ppm ammonia and you should be able to see 0 ammonia and nitrite within 24 hours of dosing. If you still detect ammonia or nitrite, more time is needed to build the bacteria population.

That API test kit is notorious for showing .25 for ammonia when it's actually zero.
