None, you're already overstocked. The Tire Track can grow to 24+ inches so it's going to need a much larger tank. It can also become aggressive to your other fish as it matures. The Rhino Pleco can grow up to 10" as well and will need a larger tank. What kind of goldfish is it? Koi, commons and comets need ponds.

Well I plan on keeping the eel. In definitely getting 180 gallon tank. But for now I'll let him grow out. Once roger (my goldfish) outgrows the tank I'll rehome him. Can I l overstock? I do PWCs every day. I also run a fluval 405 and an AC70 for filtration

I do think you're over stocked, but if you trade out your tire track for a peacock eel and get rid of your goldfish you may have some room. The problem with 60 gallon tanks is that they are tall and skinny. Although they're 5 more gallons than a 55 I would never get one because the foot print is so much smaller

Footprint?
 
Yea just means how much space there is on the bottom or how wide x how deep. (Not how deep the water is, how deep in measurement terms). A bigger footprint means more turn around room or more space for bottom dwellers like corys or loaches and so on.

I don't think I can add any more bottom feeders. Because my tank is tall and skinny
