When my fishes hide, they usually have fungus or is about to die.

Well for starter the Plecos is nocturnal - so he/she is gonna hide when you light goes on. As for the Knife/Balas/Cat Fish and black skirt tetras - they are probably just spooked when the light goes on. Unless you are telling me that you watch your tank for 8 straight hours I have a hard time believing that they hide the whole day long.
If that is the case - begin to investigate them for potential sickness. How often do you do water changes? How big is your tank? What kind of wattage do you have for your lighting?
There's a lot of factors here that you have not filled us in on.

They're just stressed at the moment. Do a full water change, and DO NOT change their life scedual abruptly, such as changing their feeding time. Don't kill them either, that'd be really stupid. Did you add a new member to the tank? If so, you should put the newbie's bag in the tank(with the fish still inside) and a few hours later, let the fish out of the bag and into the tank. And stop talking murder, please.

hey, grow up b4 u try any pets.
I see you are very uncertain about your sexual orentation and stupid. Sorry, but just reading you post will make a lot of people very disappointed in you.
Pets need love an consideration, that you don't have.
I got a better idea, kill yourself and post it here while you do it.

Against the law to kill your pets. Sell them and get some money, although you might need to get them checked over by a doctor - they could be sick.
