Just been reading through this.
I assume the filters are running continuously (24/7) and aren't being turned off at night?
If you have lots of live plants in the tank, they could be limiting or preventing the filter bacteria from developing by using up the ammonia before the bacteria can eat it.
If you increase the water temperature to 28C, that can help get the filter bacteria growing faster, but reduce it once the filter has cycled. You should also increase aeration/ surface turbulence when raising the temperature to maximise the oxygen level in the water.
--------------------
Adult scissortail rasboras need a tank that is at least 4 foot long.
If you can post some pictures and maybe a 1 minute video of the sick fish, we might be able to spot any diseases?
