so i got 3 neon tetras from someone who was going to flush them down the toilet...i currently don't really want to take care of more fish than my 2 bettas, but i felt i didnt have a choice. I've put them in a non-heated, 3 gallon rubbermaid tank (it's 5 gallon, but i only filled it about 3 gallons). there's no heat, but i put an air pump and a few silk plants and a skull.
i dont want to buy a tank or mix them with my bettas (who are in a 5 gal and 10 gal). can they survive in this setup? do they need a heater? heat is stable at 72 degrees. i tried feeding them some frozen brine shrimp, but they havent ate any. and 2 of them seem to be fighting each other, bumping into each other, nipping, etc.
any suggestions that dont involve me mixing them with my bettas? if i did buy a tankfor them, what would be the bare min, along with how many more tetras to make them feel safe/good?
thanks..
