This is my first attempt at posting.  I'm a new fishkeeper...about
1 month...and nobody ever informed me I was supposed to change the
water.  I've read many articles about people changing a certain
percentage of their water.  Can somebody tell me why this is done
and how much I should be changing?

I have a 10 gallon tank right now with 5 fancy tail guppies, 2 catfish,
and 4 brand new babies (fancy tail guppies) in a breeder.
