finding the nullclines of a two connected ODE's

so I've given the following problem:



$dn_1/dt=N(t)n_1-n_1$



$dn_2/dt=N(t)n_2-4n_2$



$N(t)=25-6n_1-3n_2$



so I've found the fixed points of the 2 equations and got:
[(0,0),(0,7),(4,0)]



now I want to find the nullclines of them:



so for $dn_1/dt=0$ we get $n_1(24-6n_1-3n_2)$ which means:




  1. $n_1=0$ for all $n_2$


  2. $n_1=4-0.5n_2$



so for $dn_2/dt=0$ we get $n_2(21-6n_1-3n_2)$ which means:




  1. $n_2=0$ for all $n_1$


  2. $n_2=7-2n_1$



plotting the following using matlab in order to find the phase plane and basin of attraction gives peculiar results which I can't find to be able to understand. (fig attached below)
I thought the the 3 nullcline need to be intersecting both the fixed points which is more intuitive to me but instead I get the following.

the Matlab code generating this plot is as follows:

a1=6;a2=3;
k1=1;k2=4;
%Params

tEnd = 50; % end time

%Function Handlers
