fishes seem to be doing fine + for about 4 months = don't fix what ain't broken.
Just because a reading that's always been that way looks funny to you now is no reason to change parameters. Some people would kill for your soft water.
Speaking of killing, monkeying with the hardness/PH/KH of the water can mess up fish more than having some readings that are a little out of spec for them.
Apistogrammas and Congo Tetras.

yes if its fine and fish are happy, you just keep doing exactly the maintenance that you're doing.
are you keeping stuff like angels or tetras? what do you keep?
and what do you mean the test tube water doesnt do the color change for KH? once you add one drop of KH test solution your sample turns yellow right away? it skips the blue phase?
