i would be very worried about your RTBS, especially if it is small. they eat algae using their underslung and rough mouths by rasping algae off anything in their tanks that has algae growing on it. they need to be eating all the while as algae isn't much of a meal in small helpings. he may be starving if you hardly see him. has your tank got a lot of algae, do you feed it any extras
I make that a 9 gallon tank.
my uncle works for madienhead aquatics and honestly knows what hes on about and said it should be fine. my dads one never grew that big in his tank.

Honestly... he doesn't.
Your dad's never got that big becasue it was stunted and probably dieing much younger than it should have.
I'd be surprised if it did go for the neons (which also aren't ideal for a tank that size), but it does need a bigger tank and lots of hiding places. You'll see fish far more when they have somewhere to hide. Also they are not algae eaters, they're omnivors and will eat pretty much anything.
