IMO, there's no need to add anymore ammonia. I'm thinking that shrimp (looked like a medium sized at least) in only a 26g tank should have gotten the ammonia reading higher. The fact that it didn't leads me to believe the LR was cured and from an established tank - which already had some of the good, ammonia consuming bacterial load already.
It sucked up the major ammonia spike and is still "working". I say let the 'trite and ammonia zero out and consider the tank cycled and ready for the pwc, clean up crew and a single fish addition. When you do, I'd still watch the ammonia with the new fish and likely daily, but light feeding. If no increase, then I'd think my guess that your cycle is already finishing would be correct.
Dice roll???? I betting it's not. Anyone else??
