QT tank - Aquarium Advice

fishman · 01-21-2005, 12:44 PM

I previously posted about ick. IF I were to do a sick tank for 4 small fish, would a 20 gallon tank be ok for a false perc, velvet dottieback, damsel, and small regal? Or would I need a 30 gallon?

What are their sizes, in inches? Especially the Regal (Tang or Angel?)

all small...regal is the biggest and he is about 2 inches long...all of them are really

It would be easier to manage water quality in a 30, but with the given sizes you may get by with a 20.

I have an opportunity to trade up to a 30 but its simply taller than my 20...dont know. Playing it by ear.
