Ok thanks, I currently have a 26 gallon cycled, and thinking about adding juvenile bps, until there bigger, would it work with one female convict also?
But would it temporarily be okay, i will upgrade after a year?! Is that too long? Can a female convict live with with a bp without harassing each other??? I've heard many yeses and nos

Convicts are nasty fish. I wouldn't recommend it. Also, females lay eggs occasionally even without a male and guard them fiercely for a few days. Of course, they won't hatch, but she might kill some plecos while defending her eggs.
I do think that plecos will be fine in there for a while, but you will need excellent filtration as they are very waste-heavy. I recommend at least 250 gph of filtration.
I still don't think it would be a very good idea. Convicts are just nasty. Look awesome, I want to get one one day, but I don't recommend them in this situation.
