Er..none, mate.:) You have to upgrade your tank size before even thinking of another fish.
How big are the angels ?
Bearing in mind adult size 4 angels in the 20 will already be too many fish. I reccomend you consider a bigger tank for them but at minimum you should now or in the future put 2 in the 20, 2 in the 30.

correction to my post the angels are in the thirty and then i have a empty 30
and no the jd and the oscar were in a 55 at separate times from each other
i sold the 55 and bought the 30's and now i have 2 thirtys instead of the 55 one in which my angels are in p.s. they are adult zebra angels one of which is a breeding pair the other is empty except for a few zebra danios to keep the cycle going

A breeding pair and 2 additional angels in a 30 is still too much IMHO... I myself would keep the breeding pair in the 30 and move their offspring to the empty 30 for development until adolescence, and then go sell them to the LFS or other people looking for angels.

well, you're going to have issues with space for the Angels (you pretty much already do)
Cichlids suitable for a 30 include convicts, apistogramma species, rams, tangayikan shell dwellers.
