25 to small?

[JonC]

I have 5 I got from Kenny’s December shipment. The biggest being about 4”, three of them are in the 3 to 3 ½” range with the smallest being around 2 ½ “. They will all be added to my lightly planted 110.
They’re all in the 25 gallon quarantine tank. My plan was to move them over to the 110 but I’ve decided to leave them there to grow out a bit. Is a 25 tall to small? I’m only able to do one WC a day. I bump it up to 2 on the weekends. My two options are the 25 gal. or the 110. I've no room for a new tank. Thanks..

Maybe as a short term holding,but for a grow-out,I'd say its too small unless you could wc twice a day.If you have no other discus in the 110,I'd probably put them in there ,though not ideal either.

Ya, no way to do more than one WC a day on the weekdays. The 110 has 4 Discus, one around 6" and the other 3 around 4 1/2". The 5 I'm growing out are to finish off the 110.
So with each tank not being ideal, should I just put them in the 110 being that's where they will end up in the long run?

So I guess the 110 it is..

You can always use a piece of poret film as a divider or just add a divider if you want to keep them in a smaller space.

I was more concerned about the quarintine aspects.How long have you had the 5?

Eddie, I was just wanting to keep them in a BB tank so I could power feed them. But being that I can only do one WC a day that just wasn't working..

Bill, I've had them in quarantine for about a month.

[Bill63SG]

Not quite as long as I'd loke,but I'd put them in the 110.You've got a better chance of stunting them in 25.

I put them in the 110 last night and really like the look of 9 in there. 4 just wasn't cutting it.
I too would have like to have had them it there for a few more weeks but whats done is done. Thanks for the help..
