Could I keep a couple in a 60 litre community ?
 
There are actually a few species traded under this common name the scientific name of the one you want is Chaetestoma Sp.2 thats the smallest of them and I think you will be okay with 2 in there yeah just make sure you have a good filter that can pick the poop up.

Haven't you got the species mixed up?, the chaetestoma species are referred to as bulldog/rubberlip plecs which do get considerable bigger than a 'pitbull' plec which is actually a parotocinclus species.

To the OP if the above species which ive mentioned is the correct one then you could have a few within a 60l tank, they usually max out at around two inches and from my experience very very social towards each other and infact prefer to be in groups. There are a few parotocinclus species, i think the most commonly found in LFS would be the parotocinclus jumbo (LDA25).
