What options of Plec's do I have for a 20gal tank. Looking to get one or two. My tank has 11 Tetras (5 and 6). That's it.
 
If your tank is in the 70 degree range L144 bushynose would be a good choice for a 20.
 
There are some bulldog (or rubbernose) plecos that will stay in the 2" range. The ones that Petsmart sells seem to be of that sort. They are really nice and don't get big enough to bully cories, if you ever decide to have those.

Here's one in comparison to some glowlight tetras:

also, rubberlip plecos (bulldog plecos) get to 6 inches long easily.
Depends on the species. It's a gamble. The one on the photograph has been like that for years. My bushynose got pretty big in a shorter time.
 
BN's are the best bet for a hardy algae eater. You'll need to supplement its diet with veggies, a 20 won't produce enough algae to keep it fed.
