They would look brilliant. Probably about 15-16 and then you could keep it West African, a larger Synodontis or a group of Synodontis nigriventris with any single cichlids such as Kribensis, Blockhead or a Jewel. A pair is possible but if you want the main theme to be the congo's i wouldn't risk them being nipped. An African Knifefish is another interesting one.

Sometimes less is more though and i'd probably go with 16 congos, a Jewel and a single mid sized Syno like Angelicus or Featherfin.

Had a featherfin once, he wasn't such a nice cat. Granted I think him just living with allot of bigger more aggressive Cichlids kind of made him mean in the end. He had a quarter sized scar on his left side and had his top fin bitten off to the point it was a nub. Ended up rescuing him like that. Loved his long feathery whiskers tho.
 
I've had them loads of times, they've always been pretty well behaved and they grow quicker than any other fish i've kept including Oscars.
I had an Angelicus until quite recently, i traded him. He was a stunning fish but wouldn't get along with anything else bottom dwelling even in my 6 foot tank. I had a general mix of all sorts in that tank until about a month ago when i took a lot of the fish for trade and now i've kept it all large South American. I have a Lemon Oscar, although he's not very Lemon coloured really, a Chocolate, a Spectabilis, an Electric Blue Acara and what looks like a Blue Acara /EBA hybrid, very pretty anyway. Also an L001, a 4 lined Pim and a Rafael. Once they're all full sized it should fill the tank nicely, its 130G.

Nice nice, wish I had a tank that big. I had a lemon Oscar once too. Started out with bright gold lines and slowly over time it all bled out and merged with his white color while also getting a black trim to his fins.

He's sort of a light orangey yellow color at the moment, but the good news is he's one of those greedy begging Oscars rather than the sulky spit half the food out types. When you get those sort it defeats the object of having an Oscar really! I have 3 tanks on the go now, i used to have 6 at one point, one of them was 7 foot, about 175 US Gallon.

Yeah I've had a handful of Oscars and most were greedy when it came to food but would lay on the bottom pretending they were dieing just to get more lol. Only ever had one mean Oscar.

Just today I figured out what jelly bean parrots are. Any info?
Max size, temperament, how would they do in my tank, if I could put them in?

I know this will sound like a lecture but it's not really, just common sense. In your other thread you are talking about issues with your angelfish and a possibly uncycled ,parasite infected tank.
Don't add anymore fish yet, do as Niki_up Niki_up suggestedand buy a test kit, then get the issues you have sorted out. After that it's time for the new fish.
I know this is a drag to read and I'm not trying to be a know it all,just trying to save you the hassle of dying fish and issues on top of issues, which to be honest we've all gone through in this hobby due to impatience and overexcitement.

Oh yeah no, that's obvious. This is for later, my local lfs told me that they have an order coming in sometime in the foreseeable future of polar blue jellybean parrots and asked if I would like to reserve one or two for myself. I have tested my water and ammonia and nitrites are 0 and nitrate was 5 ppm. Did another WC this morning and now have it down to 3 ppm. But any info on the polar blue parrots?
 
I would stay far away from Clown Plecos. Yes they are cheap and considered beginner fish but will cause alot more future problems.
