yeah the guy petco said i didn't need a heater!!! And i was thinking they did because they were tropical thanks jessika just needed to confirm my argument

Wow the guy at PetCo is an idiot. My PetCo must have had the smartest employees of any PetCo because the one I worked at we HAD to know stuff about whatever the customer asked us about or we didn't get put in that section. We had to take written tests and certify in stuff and everything lol

I've had neon tetras for years. I don't have a heater. There is a light over the tank however, which does warm up the water.

a light didin't come with it so if i had it right on the water would that be ok.

For a 10 gallon tank using a heating bulb would work. Not just a regular household lightbulb though

You can get a heater for like.. $10 at walmart

I was talking about the light in the hood of the tank. Please don't rig something up and fry your fishies! For a ten gallon tank , if you don't already have a lighted tank, I'd go with the heater.
