    Default QT tank size

    I got 8 discus in a 125 gal. I’m looking to add 2-3 more probably in the 4-5 inch range. What size QT tank should I get for them? I was thinking a 20 long with just a sponge filter.
    Thanks and happy holidays!

    My personal favorite QT tank sizes are either a 75 or 40 breeder depending on the number of fish in QT. In your case the 40 would be perfect and the 40 can handle up to six fish if needed and you watch your water quality.

    40g is also my choice... I do use a 29g if receiving smaller arrivals...

    Ah- 40 breeder seems large for medium sized fish. I appreciate the input. Do you use a sponge filter?
