Would this be a good quarantine tank?

Hi, think I found a bargain on eBay for a quarantine tank. Would this be sufficient for 7-8 juvenile (4cm) discus? Also does it come with everything I need and would I need to buy anything extra (see description)?

Those are pretty small discus. Not sure how long they'd be OK for in that tank, but I would think it would work temporarily.

So 70 Liters is about 18 gallons which TBH is pretty small. I think you would get more use from a larger tank especially since discus fry grow pretty fast.

I was thinking 3 weeks in the qt and then into the main tank.

They can go straight into the main tank if it's a new setup just for discus. It's a bit easier to medicate in a smaller tank, however. So if that's the goal then it should work fine.

Spot on!

It’s still a good idea to have a QT/hospital tank in the unfortunate event of disease, or if you want to add to your discus tank in the future
