A pair will be fine in a cycled 10 gallon tank for a few weeks, yes.

Never heard of Dwarf Bristlenoses.....is it an artificial bred variety, like the longfin or the albino?
Are you sure it's not the regular brown one? the Common Bristlenose (Ancistrus domesticus).
these reach 3,5-4", wich still isn't big.
I breed mine in a 100 L (25G?) tank. It can be done in a smaller one (I sometimes transfer the male with eggs to a 15G and remove him when the fry swarms), but chances are fairly big that the male will harass the female 24/7.
