cognizant

Once the 29g finishes cycling I will be moving Fred & Ethel (a scissortail rasbora and a corydora catfish) into it and the 2.5g will be empty. Would I be able to use the 2.5g as a quarantine tank for 2 scissortails and then 2 corycats?

Also, what should I have in the quarantine tank besides a filter and a heater? Is it wise to have gravel and decorations, or is it better for the tank to just be empty except for the fish?

Right now my QT tank has a bare bottom. But I've got an ADF in there and there's a deadly fungus effecting them. This just makes it easier for me. Last time, I had to toss the gravel.

That said, any other time I've used a QT tank for fish, I had gravel and decorations to make it a less stressfull environment for them.
