The concensus is 10% per day, just enough to remove the poop from the bottom.

When you do change water, do it into a bucket incase you suck up fry.

I have not had any personal experience but that was what I was going to do if my pair were successful (which they weren't)

I dont do any water changes at all, I syphon the bottom of the tank with a 4mm hose to remove all waste and just keep lowering the water level as this helps the fry find the parents once they start free swimming .
Once they are free swimming for about 5 days i slowly start to add water about 10% per day making sure that the water going in is the same pH and temp as is in the tank.
