My brother's tank is being wiped out one by one and we have tested the water for pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. Everything seemed fine although the pH was a little high. The dead fish show no sign of disease at all, they are just dying. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this and what I can use to treat it?

fish are basic noob community fish, my bro is only nine.
let's see...so far he lost 2 black neons, a serpae tetra, a minnow, and a tiger barb looks like it is about to kick off.
temp is mid 70's.
treated with maracyn two for internal parasites...should i try adding salt too?
will that help?

Maracyn is not for internal parasites. I would not treat with anything until you know what is going on.
Let us know tank specs and symptoms. How high is the PH, because it probably is a non-issue unless it's extremely high. How are the fish acting, how long have you had the fish etc. You said everything seems OK on your tests, what are the numbers? How often are water changes done, when was the last one things like that we really need to know to help you.
