Can I keep one ii a IM NUVO 20 gallon ?
 
No. physically they are not big but they are very active and I don't believe 20 is enough

edit:

I suppose if you had another larger tank you will move into soon (year maybe) then only if you get it small and it will be the only fish in the nuvo
 
I’ve seen one successfully kept in a 20 gallon with a pair of clowns

lots of people on here will tell you not to do it. but, i can tell you i have had success keeping a very small dwarf angelfish in a nuvo aquarium. just keep your parameters rock solid. and i mean rock solid. then think about upgrading as the fish grows.
 
If it were a long then I would say maybe, as mentioned above it's not necessarily about the size but more of the level of activity and temperament of the fish (pygmy angels can be quite pugnacious). I had an LFS that had a Flameback (same size and build as the cherub) and it could cover their 150 gallon tall display tank (4x2x2.5) from one corner to the other in a few seconds and back again. Personally I wouldn't try one in anything smaller than a 40 breeder.
