I've done it in a 26 before, so a 20 should be fine. That said, your stocking plan seems a little high considering that BNs get to a moderate size and will be breeding.. I would opt for maybe 8 of one of the types of neons, and maybe choose either the betta or the ram.

If it's an albino, then if you do decide to breed it, in my experience albino bristlenose and regulars wont breed. I've heard otherwise but I never got it to happen. (I did get my regular male to breed with a regular female but never an albino female)
