QT tank size

[JMorris271]

Hi guys.
I need to set up a new QT for 2 small fish being ordered. I have a 5g,10, and a 20g. What size tank would be the most practical to do this please.
Thanks all.

I use a 20 gallon tank, it's easier to maintain the stability in the larger tank.

I personally use a 20 just because I like to give the fish a decent temporary home that has a little more space than they might have had at the fish store, and it fits on the kitchen counter pretty easily. If i had the extra room for a 40 that would probably end up being a permanent QT for me.

Definitely the bigger the better, ammonia won't creep up on you quite as fast as is going to.
