I don't know about the group of 4 thing BUT I do know these little guys Otocinclus "catfish" have a variaciuos appetite!!! meaning even 1 would starve to death in a 20 gal usually much less your 2 gal. Definately just scrape by hand ... is there a heater? filter? if so you "might" add 1 small cory cat to keep the bottom cleaner but I'd venture to say he'd prolly starve too as you don't need to feed the neons but "A" flake or 2 of flake food 2 times a day or so.

2 gal tank = ... good betta bowl

definately need a bigger tank if you want more fish
