I'm a big proponent to go with what works well in your water and you have readily available.
For example, if you have really soft water I wouldn't try going with something like valisnaria.
I prefer the jungle look when it comes to plants, and generally rosette plants that are not too big for the aquarium, maybe lots of cryptocoryne with bucephelandra to highlight on the hardscape.
Livestock wise I would go for something small and simple, but in larger numbers.. I would be tempted to go with 40 or so otocinclus or plain old shrimp.
Not sure how much that helps, but it's the direction I would likely go.

Yes, Lalo, I would go as dougall has said. A 20g is very small for an angel & those loaches. Think about when they get to adult size in a year or so...
Hi guys thanks for replying, sure I get the point of doing what works I currently have all those fish for sale as I'm running a small fish quarantine and hospitalization business so all those guys are for sale after spend a couple of months in qt. For my new 20 gallon tank I'm lost, I only have the idea of plants and the only fish I think of is veil tail Ram, but due to the temperature that rams need it may limit the options of fish to include.
