Yes fish produce more ammonia.

Back-in-the-day I remember the LFS guys saying that the bio-load
(waste-amonia production) of adding inverts to a tank was miniscule compared
to adding fish.

Is this true? Once the tank is cycled, can I add , say, a dozen feather
dusters with half-dollar sized crowns simultaneously without creating a
water hazard? Or, since they are worms, do they produce enough waste where
adding this many would be a concern?
