Hey guys.
I have a 20 gallon tank, and I was just wondering if I could fit any cichlids in there. If so, what kind would be good, and how many?

A pair of kribensis would be good for a 20G.

Hello,
You could probably have a pair of Rams in a 20 gallon. Ohter cichlids you could have are some dwarf cichlids like Agassiz's Dwarf Cichlids(Apistogramma agassizzi) or Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlids(Apistogramma cacatuoides).

It depends on what else you have in the tank--is this the 20g that you have with fish in it already?

But later on if I decided to have only cichlids is what I mean. It would be only cichlid tank.

A pair of Julidochromis ornatus (although it is hard to distinguish a male from a female) or J. transcriptus (maybe, need some correction if applicable)

you'd do well with a pair of either rams, agassizs dwarf cichlids, cockatoo dwarf cichlids, or maybe a trio of shelldewller cichlids.
