Cichlids for a 20g. long?

That'd be great for a pair of Kribs or any of the pelvicachromis species. 
I'm partial to those.
That's a krib in my avatar. <------

Small ones
Seriously 20gal isn't very big for most cichlids, but there are some options.
A pair of Kribensis would be fine, and if you can get them to breed you can probably sell the offspring, unlike Convicts that are hard to even give away.
Kribensis need no special care or anything, great little fish and a good start to get you into cichlids.

Also, Kribs are readily available most places, and a very hardy undemanding fish. They color up fantastically when spawning (and are pretty nice colored when not spawning), and you can keep them with community fish, so if you wanted something else in there it wouldn't be a problem. (Well I should clarify, when they spawn they get a little territorial and will run tankmates to one side of the tank, so don't put a spawning cave right in the middle, keep it to either side.)
Kribs are great fish. I myself have 6 in a 40g tang with only one pair. The pair mostly just stick to themselves and don't bother anyone else. They have a shell and cave they call home and nobody goes near it.
I just recently got my 20g long running, still building it up with plantlife, planning it for a pair of rams
Yeah you could have like what 30 in there?
Aren't their territories like 10 sq in.?
