I have a saltwater fish tank that has 0.25 ppm ammonia and I wanted to know if I added a scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp if it would be fine or if that was to much ammonia for it.
Is this to much ammonia for my shrimp

If that is a real reading you shouldn't add anything especially an invert.
What kind of test kit are you using? Sometimes you can get a false reading.

I would see if a local fish store can verify those results. API kits are notorious for testing a false .25 ppm. That being said, until you know for sure I would not add anything living to the tank. Do you currently have other things in the tank? If so are they showing any signs of ammonia poisoning?

I noticed that you had an ammonia problem back in January ? How did you sort that one out ? Water changes are probably the best way to improve things. And listen to the others don't add anything else to the tank ? How you long horn cow fish ?
