I would go at least 55 gallons for a six week quarantine of 8 middle-sized fish.

If your options are limited to a 20, Your going to want to change huge amounts of water and feed sparingly.

Right now I don't have any QT tank, but I really don't want have the space to put large tank just for QT. For 8 discus, what is the smallest tank size do you recommend? I guess it should be >30G at least? and 50% WC daily.

Does the tank they are going into have any occupants? If not you can use that for QT and just leave them in there.
