Second the frequent monitoring, amazing how fast NH3 can buildup in a small tank.

My trigger was only 1.5" when I bought him, and he lived in a 10g tank for some time. I think his growth was stunted as a result, but he's a very fine happy guy 8 years later ! Make sure you can keep the water quality as mentioned and give him a good rock with a hole that he can hide in. No meds are probably necessary. And in a tank that size, oxygenation is always very important. If you can't skim, make sure you have that surface water agitated a lot, and add an air stone if necessary.

You should be fine if you do daily water changes as said above. You may want to give him a small piece of PVC to hide in, which is much better than a QT with rocks. If you need to medicate, you can leave the PVC in the tank but may need to remove the rocks and that will stress the fish. But if your QT rocks are always going to be only used for the QT then no worries...I am assuming we are talking about LR.
