Hello, my daughter recieved a goldfish in a one gallon tank. This
started my interest and we have just moved him into a 55g with 2
buddies and another to go in when the ammonia spike drops and I can see
that he is healthy. The 1 gallon tank had a little 15 watt bulb for
light. It recently blew and I bought another. I've noticed that the
tank water is getting quite hot. Somewhere between 78-81. I'm keeping
the light off during the day and only putting it on for a hour or so in
the evening when the room temp drops. Any day know the black moor in
there will go into the big tank.

Goldfish can handle water that warm although it's not ideal.

My question is, could I keep some very small tropical fish in it. I
know it is very small but thought maybe 6 neon tetra's? Hate the
thought of a tank sitting empty. Once the gold fish get big it wont'
even work as a hospital tank.

How about a few male guppies for color and movement along with a plant and a
small decoration? If you can cut back on the aeration (no wild bubbling)
you can put a betta in such a small tank.
