a school of cories are fun

depends on how you set the tank up. Id stay away from pictus. They prefer groups. and while 6 pictus looks really cool. 24" isnt a heck of a lot of swimming space.
Cories are a good suggestion.
Synodontis nigreventis are ok. but for a decent group i think a 29 would be better.
Bumblebee cats. M. iheringi are awesome.
one maybe two spotted raphaels depending on the stock and filtration
Any numerous of midget pl*cos it would take me awhile to type them out.
Theres a couple of other cats, but they escape me and i dont want to get my books right now.

My apologies if I repeat any already mentioned. Then again, repeats suggest that those fish might be a really good idea 
-South American bumblebees
-Banjo cats
-Synodontis petricola (one of the smallest Syno species, I believe. I would hesitate to introduce any of the more common species to a 20g, as they can get a bit larger than 6")
-Woodcat species, such as C. perugiae or T. intermedia
-Spotted raphael cats - tend to stay a good bit smaller than their striped cousins.
If you want to extend your general catfish inquiry to include plecos, that will open you to an even wider range of possibilities.

corys will do. or a spotted pictus catfish, but he will soon grow out, but if you mean a perm tank, then corys.
