20gal QT too small?

[jd371]

I'm going to run my 75gal DT fallow because of Ich. I have a Melanarus, Gramma, Midas Blenny, Firefish and 2 T/P Clowns. Would stress be an issue in a 20 and should I split them into 2 QT's?

They all seem pretty small. I put more in a 29 QT for hypo and it was OK until the hippo nipped off the fins from my orchid dottyback a few weeks in. I put in a separator and some smaller pvc and the dottyback made a full recovery. The tang was smaller then too. Personally I think you'd be alright, but just keep an eye on them and watch the water quality closely.
