I have a 60L tank with a female Convict and a Clown Pleco.. I looking to add new fish that will be advisable to keep along with the Convict... Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for any suggestion left.

The only thing I would suggest adding would be a few quick dithers, such as Leopard/Zebra Danios

60L is a tad on the small side for a convict tbh

Danio's are a bit too active for a 60L (which are generally only 2ft long) so personally I'd look at rehoming the convict for two reasons:

a) 60L is a imo too small for a fish that could reach 6 inches (the species index recommends a minimum of 115 litres / 30 US gallons.
b) danio's need room to swim, and a 60L doesn't give them that.

My advice would be to speak to your LFS and see if they'll take the convict back for store credit and use the credit to either set up a decent community tank - a ram with some neon's, cories and a few oto's or something similar - or if you're looking for something different, turn it into a dwarf puffer tank.

If you've really got your heart set on a convict look at a bigger tank, but I don't think you should carry on with things as you are.
