I'm sure you could put all of those plants in a 2.5 gal tank, but some of the plants get to be 8-10" long.

What sort of lighting are you talking about? E. tenellus could quickly overtake a nano tank if it is treated right.

I would say all the above plants would be ok in a 2.5 gal. Obviously some may need more maintenance than others.
