If I had to take a guess (without knowing your water parameters) the reasonthe second fish died is because of an ammonia spike. Which was caused by the other decaying fish.

IMO if all you do is upgrade to a larger tank without knowing what is going wrong you will just experience the same problem it will just take a bit longer for the problem to show.
Wouldn't testing it not be accurate, because I put a neutral regulator in it, and changed the filter cartridge?

I think I prefer the "loach is killing them" answer opposed to the "parasite" answer. Parasite answer sounds a lot harder to fix. But how do I figure out if it's that or not? Water test kit?
