Will my Ammonia go down?

My ammonia has been around .25 since I added 10 snails and 10 crabs and a percula clownfish. It has been two days since I added them and still my Ammonia level is around .25, my Ph and My nitrates and Nitrites are in great shape. My two damsels and my clown and inverts are doing good two, they eat anything.
My tank should be cycled, because this is the 7th week and I have already had my spikes in Nitrites, never had a problem with ammonia.
So in time will my Ammonia go down? Please let me know guys
Thanks

It will take a few days to a week for your system to "ramp up" to handle the additional bioload of new fish. Feeding as little as possible will help a ton, as will water changes.

you mentioned earlier in another post, you have alot of food laying on the bottom, is that still there?
if it is that is probably a good part of your problem, you will may a little spike when you introduce new fishes, but sanils should not affect it that much, i still think it is partly all the excess food, try and clean some up,, nad do a 25% water change, especially if your cycle completed, the nitrates did peak and fall right?
