Inherited a Tank

My roommate moved a few days ago so I’ll be taking over his tank. Checked the water with my API test kit:
pH: 7.2
ammonia: 2
nitrite: 0.5
nitrate: 20
Temp: 82

He’s been keeping 3 neon tetras in there, which I’ve now moved into one of my 10 gallon tanks. He’s been feeding them twice a day, so I’m suspecting the high Ammonia and Nitrites are from overfeeding ( ?). I did a 50% water change today, any other suggestions to getting this tank into a suitable system?

keep up with the daily water changes and some water conditioner..he could be overfeeding with the amounts he feeds, but twice a day isnt too much if its just enough that they eat in a few mins....the temp is a bit high also..76-80 is good....goodluck!!
