I don't care what kind you've got. . . who's got tanks devoted to africans? Here's some pictures of mine.

when I first set it up

I wanna add a few more fish if I can upgrade the filters and save some money. . . probly kribs or some leopard ctenopoma. If I had the time I'd get a bunch more ABK's and try to breed them, but I know I can't devote that kinda time to the tank. . . . has anybody else tried?
 
ABKs will breed in captivity but it takes a lot of work.

IMHO your African tank would look great with some rope fish. They are very hardy and easy to take care of, plus they are quite entertaining! :)
 
nice set up i like how it is really natural.
 
I got an African tank with 12 Congo Tetras, an African Brown Knife, A Ctenopoma, and a Synodontis.
 
Let's see some pics. . . . I just added a polypterus (palmas or senegalus I think, whatever they carry at petsmart) but I'm helping my girlfriend get ready to move this week, so I probly won't get new flix anytime soon.
