Dang I think I want a 40gal min for those don't I?

you would need a minimum of 10 in a group, but they would do fine in a 20g as long as you have a good filter on it.

Just off a quick search I found these gymnogeophagus eye catching. Will any of these work in a 20?

Gymnogeophagus australis
Gymnogeophagus balzanii
Gymnogeophagus che
Gymnogeophagus gymnogenys
Gymnogeophagus labiatus
Gymnogeophagus rhabdotus
Gymnogeophagus tiraparae

Like the turnover for your 1gal? lol.

You could get a con or a pair of them. Im not aware of many tiny aggressive fish...
If you can tolerate not having aggressive fish, try putting like 6-8 south american bumblebee cats, a blue gourami, and some glowlight tetras.
