adding crabs/snails

my test results were:
Ammonia-0.25ppm, Nitrate-20-40ppm, Nitrite- 1.0-2.0ppm

-can i add a couple of crabs, and snails now? or should i still wait untill the tests come out just right?

You should wait until the ammonia and nitrite are undetectable and then it will be ok to add some clean up critters.

I would wait until the ammonia is undetectable and the nitrite is <0.25 ppm.
