10 gallon QT for 5 2.5"-3" discus
Hi all, I'm new to this new forum thingy. I just need some help on getting opinions. So I'm planning to get discus and I only have a spare 10 gallon tank. I'm 15! My parents wont let me get a larger QT tank because I live in an apartment and there is no more space for a larger one. I have a lightly planted 55 gallon tank and planning to get 5 2.5"-3" discus. Will the discus be fine in a 10 gallon QT tank for 4-6 weeks?

I bet that if you got a 15 gallon tank and tell mom and pop that is was 10 gallons they would not know the difference. Five in a 15 at 3 inches would be okay with water changes and filtration. Or create a diversion. Get the 15 and tell your parents that you are 10. Bait and switch. Seriously, Tom asks a reasonable question regarding what is in the 55? If no other Discus why would you quarantine?
