ok i just got 3 neon tertras today, i read all about them and they have a 1 gal. tank with plants hidey holes and plenty of shady areas, and some tropical fish food, but my bubbler is really old and doesn't work very well, i have a really good bubbler with alot of outlets but its hooked up to my big 10 gal. tank downstairs with my huge goldfish that would eat the tertras in 1 bite, i would like to keep the tertras in my room but im just worried!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! should i risk them being in that small tank with little circulation, but ill be able to watch them before i go to bed, or should i put the tank downstairs and hook it up to the good bubbler and not watch them as much, like when their lights dim when it gets dark??? i think i already know the answer but what do you think?????

3 Neons don't require heavy filtration and don't even like strong currents so I think you are fine just as you are. I would say to be sure and do your weekly 25% water changes on that tank and be sure to clean the gravel each week as well. That will help to keep them healthy and happy.

Go buy another one... also, I hope that Neon tank has a heater considering (since you know everything about Neon Tetras) they are tropical fish that need warm water. They should really have a tank larger than that, you practically have them in a bowl right now. If you keep them in their, they will likely be very stressed and unhealthy.
