How Many Fish In One QT?

[DocRose]

Will the following fish be okay in a 20 gallon QT for 30 days together if they go in at the same time?

Yellow Wrasse
Melanurus Wrasse
Ruby Longfin Fairy Wrasse
McCosker's Flasher Wrasse

I think if they're all juveniles, and the tank is already cycled, and you have sand for the yellow & melanurus, that should be okay. a 20 long would be better than a 20 high.

And only proceed with this plan if you have a secure lid in place.

Agree, 20 long would be better than 20 high. It'll be tight quarters, but it's doable for 30 days. Put a container of sand large enough for both the yellow wrasse and the melanurus in the tank while they go thru QT.

A 20 long will be better for the Mel, Chrysus, and Fairy. A 20 high would be best for the Fladher (These enjoy height as well as length).
I agree with the others in which it is definitely doable for 30 days. I wouldn’t do it for longer though.

By the way, I don’t know dimensions of your tanks in America very well since in the UK we mainly have 1 way of saying different tank sizes. So if I’ve got it wrong and my assumption of a 20 high being taller than a 20 long is Incorrect then do correct me.
