Are tetras and bristlenose stressful on zebras?

Hi just wondering what opinions were on having bristlenose(2) and blue tetra(1) mixed in on my colony of zebras? I have a 90 gal tank which is a lot of room for the zebras but the blue tetra does zip through the current alot and goes right down to the sand to pick up food. The bristlenose are in the tank to help clean the glass.
I have had this tank set up for almost a month at 84 degrees and the heat does not seem to bother the tetra or the bristlenoses.
The bristlenoses were put in intentionally but the tetra escaped during a transfer and was a pain to try and scoop out so i left him in there. The bristlenoses are kind of handy because they seem to eat alot of the extra food but boy are they fat.
I would ultimately like it if the zebras would breed, so if these other fish are stressful on the zebras i will have to pull them out.
Thanks
Bob
