me personally, i would go with tiger barbs, rainbow or red tailed sharks, bristlenose pleco, chinese algae eater(gold)

things like that....

I tried convicts and tiger barbs together in a 55gal a few years back. As soon as the convicts laid eggs they killed the tiger barbs. You might be ok with just 1 convict though.

Get your con a mate and watch the magic!

You'd prolly be fine with the tiger barbs if you only have one con. Breeding pairs get extra aggresive though, so i think if you paired your con up, you'd be stocked.

na just a MALE

So no pair? I'd just go with the tiger barbs.

I'd leave the barbs, but go with different bottom fish, maybe some small pimelodids like SA bumblebee cats
