15% is kind of on the small side. I do weekly 25-35 in my big tanks and 50% in my tens! and that's with a bucket in an apt. If you kept bare bottom tanks you would see how fast poo builds up and grows colonies on the bottom of the tank.

So you're saying that when you did couple water changes a week, your cories bred more often? Or did you mean when you did once a week?
Your test kit holds the answer for this.
So my tank is 24 gallons and it's VERY overstocked. So how much should I change and how often would you recommend?

I agree with this 100%. How much water you need to change depends on what you desire your water quality to be and how heavily stocked your tanks are. There is no magic correct amount for water changes. If you don't want to test I would recommend changing 50% per week to be on the safe side unless your tank is heavily overstocked.
That being said, I don't do water changes more often than weekly. Unless you really enjoy water changes it is a lot easier to bigger water changes on a weekly basis than small changes twice a week.
