Why not reserve the 5g tank for fry grow out and QT and use the 10g for something else?
For a true QT tank, assuming lights on a timer and proper temperature, just a pinch of food every other day or so and maybe a snail or two are all you need to keep bacteria going.

5g isn't much. I house only a male betta in my 5g. Leave it for a growout tank :)

1) Almost anything that will fit into the 5gal will not be big enough to eat the frys (Bettas excluded).
2) The list is too short.
