QT set up

Im setting up a QT and wondering would a 5 gallon hexagon tank be sufficient for a QT???
here is the fish i plan on QT carpenters wrasse/ starry blenny/pair of clowns and maybe a flame angel.
I am NOT going to put them in the QT all at once... 1 fish at a time but the clowns will be QT together as a pair

Maybe if it was a long tank, but not a hexagon. The fish would have almost no room to swim in. Just go out and get a 10 or 20 gallon used on craigslist or buy new.
