There are many ways to calculate fish-load. The fish-inch-gallon is a
guideline which works very poorly at the extremes of high mass (Oscars)
and low mass (Neon tetra).

When in doubt, filter according to your fish-load and not your tank size.
If you think you should have a 40g tank, then you should be filtering
your 20g as at least a 40g (generally 25% larger), but as your tank is
small, you want lower turbulence filters (ie: a small Eheim canister
filter to augment what you already have).
