WHat kind of fish are they? I've held 2 clowns and a purple pseudochromis in a 5 gallon before, but I made sure they had places to hide. If you are looking to treat them via hyposalinity, I'd recommend at least a 20 gallon tank because you'll have more control over your nitrate cycle.

Big Als does not quarantine their fish, so if you buy fish from there, you have to quarantine them yourself for at least two weeks. I reccomend paying a bit more and buying from LFS that quarantine for two weeks before selling to the public.

Agreed, I've had good luck and bad luck with livestock at BA's. Quarantining fish is good practice regardless of where you get your fish.
