I wouldn't start with any bigger water changes when they are that young. The sponge filter will do a good job in biological filtration, and when you look under your sponge filter, you will see quite a bit of accumulated waste. You can get a piece of airline tubing, and carefully change water with that, and in the process get rid of the waste thats under the sponge.
Let the water go into a bucket, so you can see if you accidentally got some fry as well,and you can put them back into the tank.
For putting new water back in, do it slowly. Have a bucket with aged, temperature and pH matched water above the fry tank, hang an airline tubing from the bucket into the tank, and let the water drip into the fry tank. The slower the better, so the fry can get used to any new water very slowly and carefully. You can tie up the airline tubing a bit, so the water goes back in the fry tank slower....
