ummmm. not quite.
first, they should be in a much larger group than 4. minimum 8-10 IME. this helps to spread the aggression.
also, they don not grow anywhere near 6" (captive or WC). average is closer to 3.5"
is it possible? sure
is it a good idea? probably not (depends who you ask)
although proper (or even excessive) biological filtration is important, its not nearly as important as your maintenance schedule.
the more you plan to keep, the more often you should plan to clean/WC your tank.
youre looking at 25-30% WC weekly on a "traditionally shocked" tank (1"[square] per gallon). so if you plan on "overstocking" your tank, you will want to increase either the amount or frequency (or both) of your cleaning/WC schedule.

They said other Exodons because they will most likely kill everything else. And to the OP, Just scratch up about 50 bucks and buy a 30.
