After about 1-2 weeks old , i change the water everyday.... sometimes twice a day.

This will boost their growth.

Me i do small water changes around %10 per day even when just free swimming but what i am careful is not to disturb the babies and the parents.

Most pairs are very aggresive and will attack the siphon hose.
