I wouldn't put a copperband butterfly in a 40g tank. If youre lucky enough to get one to eat, and its a small specimen, it MIGHT be ok. Stress is the number one fish killer. Make sure you can provide a somewhat stress-free living environment. This means plenty of hiding spots for security, and a food supply they like.
Do frequent water changes is pretty much the only way to keep the nitrites low without a biological filter. Thanks for the compliment. That's only my quarantine though. I'll shoot some vids of my show tank once the fish are back in it.
