It will depend on how much your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate pull throughout the process.LiveCulture;2685893; said:
Survival in unfiltered tank

the free filter sounds very good to me but the goldfish are so cute and i dont want them to be harmed
I think you have a pearlscale and a comet from your other thread. Comets are too big. Your 15g will fit only one pearlscale.
i once kept a baby silver arowana in an unfiltered tank for 3 weeks, feeding it blackworms and krill generously and i had to give it away because it grew too large....very healthy fish throught the process

Keeping any fish in an unfiltered tank is a slippery slope.. Very easy for things to go wrong and I wouldn't suggest it ever as a reasonable way to keep fish.
youre right its wasnt the smartest thing to do but i went with my instincts and kept a very close eye and the fish prevailed
Why dont you stick cheap $20 HoB filter with a bio pad in it on the tank....
It'll keep them alive and reasonably healthy after the bio pad grows a bit.
With just an airstone, I'll give them about 2 weeks before the ammonia kills them. Maybe less.
