yep either one you want Tb or the tetra would be fine.

no the bioload would be fine assuming you have decent filtration.

i have an aqua clear50 HOB
 
Ive kept a pair of cons with the M being about 3 inch and the F about 2.5inch comfortably in a 20 gallon with an AC HOB rated for a 30G tank with weekly 30-50% Wc's. Can be easily done.
 
In a 20 long. A pair of Cons easy. I kept a breeding pair of 6 and 4 inches in a 20 long for years. With adequate filtration they are not bad on the bioload and the long gives the female plenty of space to get away. I would go A male con and a firemouth, or a pair of male cons. If you want fry then a breeding pair. You have several options in a 20 long.

are you sure a firemouth and a convict would fit? I wondered if females were less agressive? I was going to get one or 2 female cons and have a school of tiger barbs or serpae tetras. I do not want fry i wanted females because they are prettier than the males
 
You could do two females and a school of barbs in a 20 long.
 
a female con should be good.
