I reckon if you ever feel the need to ask yourself, 'Should I do a water change', then the answer is always yes!

how old is the set up you have? panda corys are considered by a lot of people the most sensitive of the species.
a month old, im new to this, what happend was sum1 dyed,and nobody wanted the fish, so i took them , the tank they were in was a 10l tank,no light,no filter,no heater, and was stocked real heavy ,2,pleco s 3 guppys 4 plattys 2dalmation mollys 2 neons 5 zebras, unbelivable, anyway, i bought a secondhand tank,BIG MISTAKE, tetra aquart 60l tank, i bought a fluval u2 filter,plus heater ,thermomater.,,ii didnt cycle the tank, coz the fish were dying by the hour, so i put them in the new tank,withe filter etc,as i thought it was best for them,big tank,etc , i lost 2 dalmation plats,i other platy,2neons ,3 guppys, i took the plecos tom lfs . so now i have 1 pepperd cory ,1 albino cory ,5zebras 4 neons ,3 platys 2rummy nose tetras, i wana go get a fish or 2 today ,but dont know whether to get corys, more neons,rummy nose tetras, what would you do, am i over stocked, my light has gone on my tank,so now im picking a tank off internet today,i fancy 60l to 100l tank,any suggestions, thanks.kevinjames

Its a kinda MAGIC!! ^_^
Have you got a test kit of your own? if not your money would be better invested in 1 (liquid testkit) as it will save the lives of fish in futher, to me theres no point going buying more fish as it sounds like your tank is still not cycled
im goin to buy a test kit , ive been taking water to my lfs,but youre dead right, i shudnt really buy more until my tank is right, THANKYOU

LFS aren't always reliable, mine is very good on advice but they only test for nitrAte and with a strip test

Not just that, its a pain in the bum to go to the shop every time you want your water testing. What if you want to test it at 11 pm? You can't go down then, and your fish can't afford for you to wait really. A test kit is a worthwhile purchase while your tank is very new and you are inexperienced. Even more experienced fish keepers rely on test results often when adding large numbers of stock or if they've had a number of unexplained deaths.

Salifert is superior to API in my personal experience.
