Try changing the water, Plus those strips are not accurate.

What were the exact readings? You say they were fine, but what were the numbers?

And neons aren't the best for cycling...I'm surprised you still have 10 left.

Garofoli is right, the strips are not the best. Liquid tests are more accurate.

If ammonia and nitrite are 0 and you show nitrates, you can add the other fish. I would get your bronze cory some friends though (like 5 more).

Could also check if any lfs do water testing.
