I currently have 1 blood shrimp and 2 peppermints in my 125g. Could I add a couple skunk cleaners?

If you have enough live rock for them to hide in, I would.
For example in my 75G with around 90 lbs of live rock, I have 3 cleaners, one fire shrimp and 2 or 3 peppermints. I am not sure about the peppermints since I very rarely see them. Each of the shrimps have staked out their own terrority.

That would be fine, especially in a 125.

I've had cleaners with peppermints and fire shrimp before without an issue.
In a 125 you should be fine

Agreed, the shrimp are not agressive towards each other except antenna whipping from time to time. i have at least ten cleaners a few fire shirmp, 20-30 peppermint and 2 mantis(gifts inside some lr) the mantis are the only ones who will kill their tank mates
as long as they have some space to play theyll be fine.

I've kept all 3 in a 90 with tons of rock, no problems.
