Cichlids in a 20 gallon

[Butters Skotch]

Okay, this might be a dumb question but I don't know. I want to know if there are any cichlids (NON-DWARF) that could live as a single fish in a standard 20 gallon aquarium for life, without any upgrades. Thanks!

None that get larger than dwarf cichlid size...

If it is a 20 long then you could do two. I have a breeding pair of cons in a 20 long. If it is a regular twenty, I would get a con or firemouth and grow a mini beast.
