60 liters = 16us gallons which isn't too much room to work with. What else is in the tank?

For things that eat algae I would look into Ottos, Amano Shrimp and Cherry Shrimp. But remember that buying inverts/fish isn't the best "solution" to an algae problem. It's best to get the algae under control on its own

Hi, first of all, turn caps lock off, it seams as though your shouting.
Have a look for Ottocinclus plecs. They are one of the smallest types of algae eater avaidible, and a group of 6 would go perfectly in the tank. They will eat algae, but also need algae wafers and peas in their diet. They are toatally peaceful and will go with nearly any type of fish. Have a look in your local fish shop and see if they can order some in for you.
