I just completed a fishless cycle last week and later in the week proceeded to add some fish. I added 10 neons, 6 rasboras, 4 corys, and a few days later added a pearl gourami. However, I've been having neons die left and right and after having no problems, two of the rasboras have died.
They all seem to be behaving properly, eating well and swimming a lot. So after checking the basics, ammo, nitrites, and nitrates, which were all fine, I turned to pH and water hardness.
My local store didn't have a liquid test for hardness, so I had to settle for test strips. I have an API master kit for the other tests.
Below are my results. For KH, I believe I'm supposed to divide the ppm number by 17.9 to get to degrees of hardness.
My question is, could water hardness be causing my problems, or is it more likely something else?
