i have no idea why, went back to the lfs, and the tested the water as well, and came to the same conculsions, it was perfect, and also that there was no differnece in ph or anything form there water, so they are going to replcae them for me next week.

Is there any salt in the water? I have been told when i bought mine that with neons and cardinals they don't have scales or something and that the salt kills them
 
Never heard that before. I'd say possibly NTD, but cardinals are immune to that. You say the rest are fine? Are they breathing normally or very rapidly? I've lost 4 glowlights over 2 days to gill flukes, only noticed when the firt two died. Probably not that, but have a good look at the ones that are left.
 
looking at the otehrs only 2 are left behaving normally the other is now spinnign out of control i would almost say it had a broken back, as it is twicthing and has lost colour down part of its lengt like the others that dies did. all other fish are fine
