youre gonna have to get a test kit to see what your parameters are. whats your filtration? do you have aeration?
 
thats gonna be a sardine tin when they mature....
Do you have a filter? with that stock you going to need amazing filteration, i would rehome the 3 pacu's 14" 12" 7" 4 red tails fom 5" to 8" 2 lg placo's bout 14-16" 1 flower horn bout 8" 5 managuancie none bigger that 5" sorry if i miss spelled 2 small cat's dont know what they are............
as the redtails will asitain 4-5feet each the pacu around 3feet each

yeah...not to mention how grossly overstocked you are. better not be trollin'!!!!
 
right now i have 6 fluval 404 with custome hard pipe in the tank... i know i am goin to start the new home for my baby's in a month or so hope to be 14 to 15 ft long 5 ft high and 4 ft deep
 
Your either very inexperienced or someones taken advantage of you,that tank is hideously over stocked right now,you can change as much water as you like but no 125 gal tank can cope with that stocking level...ridiculous!! not to mention very cruel.
 
they were all small at one time and i love my fish i would rather give up half ov my basement and do the new tank than get rid of my fish
 
even great white sharks start out small. dont mean im gonna get one and put it in a 10g. please get a test kit so you can know whats going on with your water. its like shooting in the dark right now. although im sure that problem has a lot to do with your stocking levels
