i am thinking of redoing my tank stocking for my 2 tropical tanks, for that i was going to use my 10 gal as the quarantine tank for now. is this too small in general? i am thinking of adding a few GBR in the near future, and maybe a few gouramis, posibly a BNP here and there. as quarantine is only temporary i dont think this will be an issue but will defer to you guys. thanks in advance.

A ten is fine for small fish as a qt tank.:22:
They are only in there for a few weeks.

i agree with NG, i wouldnt go anything smaller than a ten, because even though they are only there for a few weeks, you dont want them to be stressed, which can create more problems

10 is good for a small fish QT, but if you can get your hands on a cheap 29, that would be really good to have as well, that way in an emergency you can move your fish there, as opposed to cramming them all in a 10. At the very least I would have a 20L. The 20L is a good larger fish/whole school QT
