I'd consider swapping a royal gramma for the dottyback. They're pretty hardy, less aggressive, have about the same body shape, occupy the same kind of niche, and are likely less expensive.
As far as the angel goes, LA does seem to recommend at least a 30 for even a flameback, so I'd assume it would be the same for an Atlantic Pygmy as well.
What about maybe a firefish, court jester goby, or hi-fin banded goby? All those guys will be okay in your tank and are colorful as well.

I would say a Gramma is more peaceful. It's colors also kinda fade into each other.

I think a royal gramma would be a good choice. I had one and really liked her when i could find her. LOL She just got kinda lost in the 125g , I think in the 20g it would be quite pretty to have.

Now that sounds much more reasonable. 
You can get a bunch of shrimp, I just love shrimp in my tanks.

When you put your clowns in are they going to be your first fish in the tank? Are you going to put them in at the same time? Are you going to get one bigger than the other one? Are you gong to spend the extra couple of dollars and get tank bred clowns?
Most importantly do you have a backup plan if the fish don't get along?

Look into a tank bred bangaii cardinal. They have a more round body and the high fins are nice. I have one with a pair of clowns, royal gramma, and firefish in my 40 breeder and they get along very well.
