Run small tank with no mechanical filter

I have a small 1.6 gallon fish tank. I added a small gold fish and a
pleco. I think the tank is going through the set-up cycle (amonia
nitrite nitrate). I think the gold fish is passing out. Anyways, Is
it possible to have that small tank with no mechanical filter, just
the air stone and the undergravel filter?
=======================
Plecos reach 18" in length if you have the usual pleco the stores sell.
Goldfish reach 12" or more in length. Your tank is suitable for one betta.
Please take the other two fish back to the store before both die.
Meanwhile start doing partial water changes using water of close temperature
and something to remove the chlorine and any chlorimines the water contains
to dilute the toxic ammonia.
