If you are that worried about the water parameter difference then do what I do.

The new fish are placed in a bucket with the water from the bag, using a piece of airline tubing start to syphon water from the tank that they are going into, tie a knot or put a clamp on the airline to slow the water down to a steady drip, leave until the bucket is nearly full.
Fish are now acclimatized to your water.

now thatis a plan!! Only problem is if you don't get that much water and have a wide bottomed bucket

My cabomba plants have gone mad, I'll have to trim them now

3 more tetras have gone without any noticible warnings and I have only found 1 of the dead ones in the tank. I haven't checked my parameters yet, but when should I do my first water change? it's 2 weeks tomorrow from when I first put the water in there then 2 weeks thrusday from when filter was added.
