One fish or several, a pair of blue spotted sunfish Enneacanthus gloriosus), a pair of blackbanded sunfish (E. cheatedom) and a frecklebelly madtom (Noturus munitus) all getting to 3 1/2-3 3/4" long, and 5-6 banded topminnows (Fundulus diaphanus) up to 4 1/2" long would be cool in a planted 20g

you have a good taste in fish guppies and german blue rams are cool and the aquarium is going to be planted. i really like that minnow so i have a hard choice

Are banded topminnows the same as Banded Killifish? Edit: Found the answer, yes they are. I have some of those, they are interesting.
 
Actually banded killiefish is the more correct name, the name banded topminnows usually refer to two other Fundulus species, both abit smaller and not so pretty, the auroguttatus and the cingulatus. At least I got the scientific name right, lol, the diaphanus was the one I meant, they are carried by Jonah's Aquarium
