I am confused about this level. How did you measure it? The reason I ask is the API test kits go yellow at 0 and very slight green at 0.25 as the next color. I have a meter that reads digital and I will get results close to 0.08 shortly after feeding but some minimal level of ammonia is constantly in the pond to provide the food for the bacteria, and the fish don't stop breathing except at the intake to the filter. At a value of 0.008, I would definitely not be concerned.
