A 26 gallon isn't big enough, IMO, for congos to school comfortably. They are large, active schoolers, so I think they belong in a larger tank. The cories are a schooling fish too, so you should get at least 6 of them. If you do this, you could get a centerpiece fish like a pearl gourami (). So perhaps:

1 pearl gourami
15 pristillas
6 cories (1 kind)
3 ottos

They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes,
They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver,
So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.
