Clown loaches get too big for a 55. Go with the cories.

Agree with above a 55g is way too small for six clowns go with the corys.

Cories! Unless you have a 120+ gallon tank for the clowns when they grow larger...

I agree. Go with cories. I'm in the process of re-homing the clowns in my 55. I wish I could keep them, but they'll get too big for me.

Cories for sure. More than six would be better yet. You could get 10 or more depending on stocking.

Kuhli loaches or dwarf chain loaches.

Lots of cories! They are the best.

This is a bit off topic but...
What i would do is put the stock from your 30g into your 20g, the stock from your 55g into your 20g and the stock from your 20g into your 55g (55g is the minimum size tank for mumba).
