I have posted a few threads looking for fish that I could comfortably keep in a reg 20 gal tank I'm pretty sure that convicts can live in it but my question is how many ?? and I really don't want to breed.
 
Shrimp could be nice :)

In a 20 I would do dwarf cichlids with some dithers or if you really want convicts a trio of females would work.
 
I have bred convict pairs in 20 gallons before, though bigger would be better. Three females might work if the females are not particularly mean. A lone male would be what I'd do, with some fast dithers like danios

Cons are on of my favorite fish but I would recommend kribensis over them in a 20L.
