Maybe the Blueline Cowfish. They dont seem to get stressed as easy as other but I think all have the same toxins....still a 20gl is going to be too small for any Box/Cow IMO....

thats my thought a cow/ box fish would out grow your tank quick. but i think they all have toxin in them but unless really stressed they want release them. i know everybody says oo their wipe out your tank because they release toxic but ive never heard of it ever happening and ive keep them at my lfs i work at and everything went fine. most fish seem to know to stay away form these fish.
