Condtioners added after water changes?

I was just curious. Are you suppose to add condtioners when you do a water change? I mean ontop of a dechlorinator. Condtioners like Stress Coat, or Nitromax? If so, should both of these be used, or would it cause your pH levels to be off? Both of these products says they also remove chlorine in your tapwater, so should I omitt the dechlorinator if I use these products? I got a little confused when I went to the fish store and before I knew it I had Dechlor-Ease, API Stress Coat and Nitromax. Should I be using all of these at the same time after a water change?

Thanks,

Diane

Usually conditioners are dechlorinators.

I use Stress Coat, but I also have Prime on hand.
Both are conditioners/dechlorinators.
Neither one will effect your ph.

You only need to use 1 kind of conditioner/dechlorinator at a time.

Edit: Yes, use it everytime you do a water change.
