Thanks Mebbid! I will try these things. I appreciate the information.

The water does test as "hard"

My test strips test for Nitrate, nitrite, pH, KH, and GH and all test fine, only the pH tests as caution continue to monitor at 8.0.

It is a 22 gallon, (29"x10"x18"h). No signs, they seem fine and then I find them dead. I floated the bag for about twenty to thirty minutes before putting them in by net. Most lasted a week or more. I do test the water regularly and the PH stays around 8.0.

No, I am not using any water softeners. i added a tiny bit of salt 1/4 teaspoon when I set it up three months ago.

My aquarium has been up for three months. Three Platys are doing very well but everything else I add dies. I tried guppies and cory cats. I test water and all is fine, the PH is a little high 8.0 but I added PH down. I do regular water changes/cleanings.

Please help. I have had my aquarium set up for three months now. Three Platys are doing very well but any other fish I introduce die within a week. I have tried guppies and cory cats. I tested the water and the only concern was a PH of 8.0 so I have added PH down. I change the water regularly.
