Oh No!

Last night I changed the water in my bettas tank. I did almost a 100% water change so I took him out of his tank. Once I was done and had filled the tank back up I put him in just like normal. After a minute or two I realised that I had forgot to put the water dechlorinator in!!! I put it in right away and he seems okay but I was wondering if this would have hurt him in any way???
PLEASE tell me he will be okay because I fell so bad now...

The filter and conditioner should break it down quick enough to not affect him. When i change me 3ft and 4ft tank i put the water in first then add the conditioner otherwise its a long process.

That's good!!!
I was happy to see him swim up to the edge of his tank to see me this morning.
Phew...
