This will give you an idea of just why you are raising your parameters and what is being affected.
The stuff you are using I'm not familiar with, but I'm always a bit weary of the store bought products. This can show you how to raise it with cheap and common products, and will allow you raise the PH and GH, while seperately affecting the KH. 6 is no good for these fish, 7 is an absolute minimum, and it would be better if you had a PH of closer to 8. The KH should be about 8-12, and shouldn't be overlooked because it is what will provide stability in the aquarium.
