Nobody said do one right now... and 50% is not massive. I know many people that do this on their tanks without issue, one who STILL does it regularly on two tanks after 5 years.

And you are missing the fact that the ammonia was terribly high. I dont care how much stress the fish gets from a 50% water change... constantly high ammonia WILL kill fish.
