how long after a water change should i wait to test the water ?   cheers d

Still the same , not sure if I should do more water changes or let it settle , the fish seem ok , not over feeing . I guess there's something dead In there ?

thanks . im not sure what dechlor is ? is that the tap-safe ? im using interpet bioactive tapsafe.   iv tested an hour after and a day after and a few days after and it seems to be the same every time .   tested the tap water again and its fine so the test kit is working .   so shall i leave it...
