??????

water changes, even up to 75% or more, are not at all harmful to fish if you use a dechlorinating product and match the temperature. the only way it would be harmful other than skipping those things would be if you never have done water changes on the tank before and have Old Tank Syndrome and extremely high nitrates. then it will be a shock.
