im not sure what a jordan cat is. but pictus cats, i would say you could add a couple more...just remember they're fairly agressive, though i would think the more present, the less aggression there would be. i wouldn't add any more plecos, they're not especially communal and may fight over territory. plus, they're a big drain on the bio-load, as they produce a ton of waste, and they get huge anyway.

i would think as long as the pictus' mouth isnt big enough to fit the cory in there. Other then that my pictus is pretty peacefull.
I wouldn't add that Columbian shark catfish. It says up to 10" and a starting tank size of 70 gallons. Starting ti something much smaller will probably stunt its growth and make its life shorter.
