So Here's my 2 cents worth. I QT everything that comes in for 2 weeks. I do it in 3L - 5L containers. I also figure about an inch/L. I do a 100% WC every day. I do a drop/L of Prime, 1ml of Stability (aka tank starter/cycler), and then whatever amount of meds match the water volume. I only feed 1 hour before I do the WC. In the beginning the number one killer turned out to be stress from aggression. My mortality rates dropped to zero as soon as I started adding plastic pipes, plants, or anything that could be used for them to hide from me and each other. The point being is that you can crowd things pretty tight as long as you give them some shelter from each other, and constantly replace the bio filter.
too many fish in qt?

All great advice!
Please just be careful which ever method you use to make sure that you don't mix meds that cant be mixed.
For example if you are going to use a form of copper, let's say cuppermine, well than DON'T use prime as it will kill your fish because it becomes toxic.
There are others you shouldn't mix so just do the research before treating
