The elite 60 is a very nice tank.

Can you let me know what fish you have in it right now?
See earlier in the thread.

yep, helps if i read page 2 as well as page 1!!!!

there's not much more stocking you can get in a 60 litre than what you've got, however maybe room for a small centrepiece fish. in any case, rumy noses prefer to be in a shoal so i would get another 3 so you have at least 6

what sort of filtration do you have and what is your maintenance regime?

neons are less hardy fish, I started with mollys and platties but have neons now and they doing fine i can always tell if an extra water change needs doing as they fade in colour pretty quick

I find black neons are much hardier then the standard ones. Mine always seem to go on forever.

Neons are a bit like guppies these days; too over bred and don't live nearly as long as they should in a lot of cases.

I'm pretty sure the Elite 60 comes with a hang on the back Stingray filter as part of the kit.

The filteration is a large stingray thing , not sure what u mean by maintenance regime, i clean them once a week by empty a 1/3rd of the water and use magnet to clean glass.
