As others has told me that neon tetras cannot handle unstable water conditions well, i was thinking if it would be possible if i could keep my neon tetras in a breeding container in my tank, but without the same water as in the tank...i can change the water daily easily, but i would have to move the tetras often...
can this all be done as i have no other option...i think

EDIT:
i am cycling my tank and the water conditions are not suitable for my neon tetras

youll end up killing them with stress...and youll end up changing the water every 5 minutes because the body of water is less...keep the neons in their current tank, see if you can get some mature media, if not do 80% water changes every 8 hours

ok will the fish shop just give me mature media...how do you get it...do you just ask them for some filter media? i doubt they will give


oh yea...i think this shop will give mature filter media, but this is from a goldfish tank...does this matter or is it no problem?
 
ask the LFS for mature media...ask them if they will take the neons back

local fish store.

even a local hobbyist might give you some media

ask the shop you bought the neons form if theyll have them back so you can do a fishless cycle...if not your MUST do 80% water changes a few times a day
