i've had to set up my 10g tank again, because the male bristlenose i was given is so greedy he chases my cory's and clown pleco around the tank, he has stressed out my cory's so much i lost two.

i've moved him to my 10gallon along with my dwarf gourami who was given a hard time by my angel during feeding time.
i've also brought 6 glowlights to add a bit of movement, and because the pleco seems to be more active with dither fish in the tank with him.

Just one question, will the pleco be ok in the 10g? hopefully soon i'll be able to upgrade the tank, but i'm saving up to upgrade my 40g to a 70g so can't do it yet.

A bristlenoe pleco should be okay in a 10 gal, as long as you keep an eye on water quality and keep up with maitenance. And don't add any more fish. It sounds like you have a great setup with the glowlights and the pleco, with a dwarf gourami as a lovely centerpiece fish.

Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...

A BN would be fine in a 10 gal. on his own, but keep up with the water changes & cleaning, as the BN will "poo" alot & try to upgrade the tank, as soon as you can, so you can house all the fish together.
