In common use, yes.

so 0.25, 3.156 are real.

But it's possible to have decimal imaginary values, and decimal complex values. These are common in (for example) alternating current electrical circuits.

The symbol i represents the square root of -1, commonly written as j in electrical calculation.

Thus we get 0.25i, 3.156i (imaginary numbers)

and

2-0.25i, 6.3+3.156i (complex numbers).
