Amonia Spike after adding inverts?

[amistad]

Will my tank experience a spike after adding 4 shrimp and six small snails? If not can I add:happyfish immediately?

There should be no ammonia spike when adding critters of any kind. Has your tank cycled?
Hard to do, but remember...GO SLOW!

no you shouldn't have a problem.

 

[amistad]

yes I am cycled

After my tank cycled, I added 4 hermit crabs, there was no increase in any readings.
The next week i added 5 snails, again there was no change.
