Daphnia are People Too.
It good to know you are doing those pwc. I hope its enough to keep your params steady.
A test kit will tell us more though. Honestly, there are several possibilities that could be going on and one of them is stress from an overstocked tank. Its good that your brother is sorting out his tank though. How many fish are you going to give to him? Just some paradise fish, or more?

Those aren't loaches. They are Chinese algae eaters. They get big and territorial and will will suck the slime coats off other fish IME.

She means the CAE. They will get too big for your tank and can be aggressive.

i think your best bet is to upgrade to a 55 gallon tank and rehome the CAE's. (be that a separate tank for them or a new owner) then you're fine stocking wise.

I rehome all but one flagfish and all but one paradise fish. And all the CAEs. Then you'd be fine IMO.

Is your tank a 20g long or a 20g tall?
If its tall, then its not the ideal home for danios.
