I've just got a 20 gal hexagon cycled and ready to roll! It was a present from my girlfriend!!!!!! And I've Looked at a lot of peoples tank pictures on the net @ ratemytank.com And I feel in love with the colorful cichlids. Specially malawis cichilds. Any way I can make my tank in to a nice colorful cichlid tank for a starter tank as I've not had a tank in a while.

Malawi cichlids require a bare minimum 40g long tank.
In that size tank you could go with:
A pair of rams or kribs, a single convict or a small community set up
