The variations in New World Cichlids are HUGE. I would suggest doing a google (or comparable search) for : cichlid profiles. This will access you to many website that give brief over views of many cichlids.

In a 20 US Gal High tank I would think one pair of rams would be about all you could do. Add some small schooling fish for more activity.

I recently researched and asked about dwarf cichlids as I am cleaning out a 55 Gal which was a terrarium to house dwarfs. I was told that a 55 Gal would house 2 pairs comfortably, possible a third. So I sided with two pairs.
