If anything, 25% weekly would be too little. Goldfish have a massive bioload and you're overstocked with 23 of them if they are all to remain in there.
Your nitrates help determine your water change schedule. Once they start getting above 20ppm, it's usually time for a water change unless your tank is densely planted
Oh boy. That’s about 100 gallons. 10”, 6”, and 4” for people like me who hate metric. I can say right now that tank is massively overstocked. I’m assuming they are common/comet goldfish based on the size. I hope you got a pond or something to move them too becuase they will never thrive in a tank that tiny. I do 50% on a 65 with a 6” (pretty sure he’s 7” now) goldfish and my nitrates are still on the high side by the next weekly change.
