Big enough QT?

I'm looking to do copper treatment on the following fish:

2 clownfish
3 tangs (sm-med)
2 wrasses
1 diamond goby

I'm figuring it is too small, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.. Is a 55g too small of a qt do hold these fish for 2 months?

Personally I think a 55 would be fine for your fish.

A 55 is perfect for QT. Be sure to install plenty of pvc of different shapes and sizes for the fish to hide in and feel secure.

A QT tank is big enough if the fish will feed well in it for two months.
