for the mean time, I think I might remove a piece of wood and replace it with a couple of small tight caves, more water, more hiding places. I'd also overfiltrate that tank to the max, it's going to be very messy and take care of your params, you'll need to do more maintanence on that tank.

What I'd be worried about personally is how you are going to feed all of those carnivore type plecs without letting the ones that it will be detrimental too (like your Panaque) eat it. Really want to try and sort it out asap to be honest mate, some of the ones you have mentioned are really territorial, good thing they are small. Then again I have seen overstocked pleco tanks work on the agression front so...
 
Just make sure you keep the water perfect. I would do a 10% water change every day and filter 8-12 times an hour. It might sound like overkill, but that is how I would do it. Just my two cents.

Yep im doing 2-% W/C's, and it won't be for very long i just need to get my 4x2x2 sorted.
 
Should be Ok Short term... I see lots of water changes in your future.
 
Even for a couple weeks, I foresee a dead pleco. Too many aggressive species, in way to small a space. Feeding will also be a big issue. With only 15 gallons of water, I'd recommend doing at least 10 gallons of water each day. Your parameters will skyrocket very quickly.
 
Is there anyway you could space them out a bit more through different tanks or will they just become meals?
