I have got my 55 gallon freshwater aquarium set up and am looking to get my first batch of starter fish tomorrow. My question is, while main tanks are best set up from scratch, is it alright if my quarantine tank is a 5 or 10 gallon starter kit? Obviously, I don't need to get the best of equipment, since my fish will use this tank temporarily while ill or getting ready for the main tank. Is this okay? Just something that does the job?

My tank has been cycling (minus the fish) for two weeks. It was recommended to me from personnel at the store where I will be purchasing my fish, that I should start my tank off with zebra danios, because they are hardy fish and difficult to kill. I will let my tank cycle with those fish for another two weeks, carefully monitering the water quality every day or two, and then I will introduce another species of fish.
