what is that tank in litres or gallons.
sorry my maths is bad
 
5 colombian tetra - 12.5"
5 black phantom tetra - 10"
5 b heart tetra - 12.5"
6 neon tetra - 12"
10 tiger barb - 25"
5 blue tetra - 10"
4 platty - 8"
2 mollie - 6-8"
4 cory - 10"
1 kuhli loach - 4"
2 small plec - depends wht type?
1 ruby shark - 5"

This works out at an average of 115" and that's excluding the Plec.
Your tank works out at about 37G and even though you are running two filters, the tank does sound overstocked IMO.
How long has it been set up and what are your water stats like?
