The Bristle Nose Pleco only grows to about 6". Cory Cats only get to be 2" or 3" depending on the species.

DG are recommended one per tank - as they are like bettas & will fight.

Depending on tank size you can have more than one DG. I have a 36 gallon with two DG's and they get along fine. But if you put 2 in a small tank, you are probably going to have problems.

The tanks are so small, that they can't stake out a territory.

You have one DG, platies, mollies, Endlers, other schooling tetras.
All depends on the look you want.
