As I've said before, I kept tropical fish for many years, breeding them for
sale to the local tropical fish shop, and I never, ever changed the water.

If your tank had a proper number of plants in it the water will stay

I am not aware that, in the wild, it is necessary to change the water
in lakes, ponds, streams, rills etc or even to partially change it..
