    IMHO, Could be due to 2 reasons

    1. The water you used is not delcholrinated. Not an issue if you change about 10% of water from the tap in my case. How much water did you change?
    2. The pH of water or temperature of water may play a part.

    Above is my views and may not be the real reason but at least my experience think so.

    Well, good luck.

    If your tank is too small and you are changing too much water at 1 go, leaving the water overnight may not be sufficient. Read up on "chloramine" to find out more.

    Btw, "stress" has to come from something. E.g. stress from high ammonia/nitrite/nitrate concentration, stress from pH flucuations, ... Granted that there is no easy to pinpoint a particular root cause (at times, a combination of causes may be to blame) but at least you make a few good guesses. [:]
