Ok, I figured out what that fish is... its a flag tail tetra. Well, jetajockey ID'd it for me. Also, looked online, those things are expensive!
 
Good, it doesn't bother them in the least. And btw people, we're toally kidding about fish. I have to get rid of some, I have entirely too many haha.
 
Just looked today and saw no ich visible on any of the fish... this makes 3 or 4 days now that I've not seen any. A few more days of the heat to be certain, and we'll be rockin' and rollin' again.
 
Long time, no update. Here are some pics from today. The barbs are destroying my plants... really bad. If things go as planned, I'll have an 800sq ft fish room next month. I plan on moving the barbs to my 150 and setting this back up as a rainbow only tank. I guess we'll see how that plays out. For now, it looks pretty similar.

Alright, today is the big day. I'm going to tear this tank down and move all the fish over either today or tomorrow. Looks like I'll be getting another 125 today, so that may ease some of the stress. I'll be separating the fish that are in here to 2 or 3 tanks. I'm going to do a rainbow only tank that's planted, then a non planted tank for the barbs and all. Until this tank gets set back up, you can follow the progress of the move, and set up of all my tanks here- http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f70/the-fish-cave-158601.html
 
As bad as I hate to, I guess I'm going to have to let this thread die off. I no longer have a planted 125. Most of the plants went in my 150, as well as my rainbows, a few tetras, the pleco, and the clown loaches. This tank will now be a non planted barb tank, since the barbs made this tank almost non planted (they ate them... stupid barbs). It was kind of bittersweet tearing the tank down, and the obnoxious smell from the dirt was horrendous. But, I'm happy with the way the 150 looks so far, and I hope it only looks better in the future.

For all of you who have helped me out getting this thing set up, I greatly appreciate it. For those of you who have commented on it, I really appreciate your suggestions and comments. I'm not going to create a new thread for the 150 at this time, but if you're interested in seeing my tanks, you can certainly take a look at my 'Fish Cave' build, which is linked in my signature. I'll probably post a couple pictures of this tank on here once I get it set back up, but that'll be a week or two at least.

So, here's a pic of the tear down, and one of the 150 with the plants and half the fish from this tank:
