20 long? I have been keeping just 2 in a 20 long, but they ended up being a pair. Now there are more than a dozen with their babies. Be sure to supply lots of shells.

'Lamprologus' multifasciatus - http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1749

or

'Lamprologus' ocellatus - http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1753

But really most Shellies are pretty easy...

I would think 6 or so with a lot of shells would be very easy in a 20 long.
