A 180 can comfortably fit 8-10 max imo with proper filtration.

Thanks! I've been considering them, but I've heard a lot of people having problems not only with over stocking but also under stocking RBPs. So I wasn't really sure about how many I could house.

you can always start with a lot then downsize as needed or you can let nature take its course in the tank.
with a large shoal they will be way less skittish and more active and feeding is a lot more fun to watch. aggression will be spread out more as well.
down side of a large shoal is water quality so make sure you are on top of it since you'll be feeding more and all the fish poop add up

I wouldn't go any more than 8. With that many red bellies at full size, the bio-load on that tank won't be fun to manage.
