HELP!! All my Fish killing each other

I hear you never want to feed dead fish to you other fish. It could spread diseases very quickly (depending on what killed the dead ones). And most people work on their fish for weeks, even months, trying to get them to switch from live feeders to pellets. So unless you have a steady supply of feeders, I wouldn't start feeding live since they were on pellets/flakes already (I assume). You may need to separate a few of them until they heal. Clean out the tank really well and rearrange everything you can to break any territories. Hopefully you can rebuild.
The two yellow and blue cichlids, are they "zebra cichlids"? I know they enjoy beating on others about as much as oscars do.
Cichlids also have a tendency to change temperaments as they grow. So what was fine a while ago might not be fine now. Some of them may permanently need to go into another tank.
That's about all I can think of, hope some of it helps.

Damn, I gotta euthanize all my fish and start getting new fish then?
Maybe do some research before buying new fish.
It used to be overstocked. fish get irretated when overstocked even goldfish. get a bigger tank tinfoil barbs get big and 55 gallons is required per fish. you got 2 so thats a hundred and ten gallons there, copper oscars get big, I kno u lost the koi carps but one barely fits in that space. u have 2 texas blue cichlids and those need 30 gallons? in addition you have fish that need room to live. it still is today. get rid of some fish or get a bigger tank.

Uhh.... No. I don t think getting any new fish will solve any problems. Aside from the fact they you have fish requiring very differnet water parameters, when fish start killing each other, it's generally due to territoriality and lack of space. Research, decide what you want to keep, then rehouse the fish that need to go. And unfortunately 180 is not very large when your dealing with cichlids.... space is very important.
Sure did!
Din work out well though..
Yeah. Will get rid of many fish now
