yellow lab cichlids may be ok in there (labidochromis caeruleus). If you go with them, make sure you have only one male!!! you should also keep some females with him to make him happy! another idea is guppies, salvini (one male), or even buy some young angels, grow them up, and keep a single pair in there!

a 20g may be a little too small for yellow labs. I would recommend putting in a few german blue rams. They are really, really, beautifull, but are kinda hard to keep, as they are very sensative to any water fluctuations.

You can keep many different types of young African cichlids in a 20 gallon. I have kept usually 4 or 5 in a 20 gallon tank so they were able to grow to be introduced into the larger tank with 5-6 inch peacock cichlids. It would take around 7-8 months till they were too big for the tank.
