i have 6 butterflies , med. size in qt. Been thru copper but have contracted ich so will do it again. I would like to add a couple more, a thread fin and a pyramid or two. Qt is a 40 long with two hob filters and a power head and air line for surface agitation. I would try to get med size fish. Current guys are, raccoon, teardrop, dash dot,pearl scale,saddleback and orange. All eating very well.
Can I get away with this so I introduce all to the 180 at the same time once it’s done?
Thanks, Jim
 
Wow that would be a lot of fish in a small tank! While you may be able to get away with I️t make sure aggression is minimal and that ammonia isn’t too high. As long as your filters are strong enough to handle I️t you should be fine
 
That's alot of fish for a 40g. I would recommend waiting till your current batch is done before adding more.
