need an opinion

I currently have a 29 gallon tank with four convicts...going to be getting ride of two so I just stay with two female pink convicts...oh yeah...I also have a pleco...being that I'm getting ride of two convicts and the pleco always hides there's just going to be two convicts in the tank which is pretty boring...I know convicts can be very aggressive but are there and tough fast little school fish I can also put in there that would make it more exciting to look at???...I was thinking maybe some tiger barbs...anyone have any ideas???

cool...I like jacks a lot...me personally I think jacks are more aggressive then convicts...I think a 29 gallon with two convicts and a jack would be to much...jacks get big and real nasty when they reach adult size
