I don't know about all the fish you listed, but some other african fish that aren't commonly thought about is the african butterfly fish (top dweller) and the African reedfish, aka ropefish (all levels).

Thanks! I had the butterfly fish listed in mind since I have 0 fish swimming near the top!!

So your going to put two fish that get over a foot long(one of which isn't from Africa) into a tiny tank? Doesn't sound like a good idea or a fit the definition of Ecosystem.

Sorry guys my phones glitching out so I'll clear it up. I made a mistake and realized that I actually have a tiger pleco. Just a darker variation.
But my stock is the same
1x leopard ctenopoma
1x albino bichir
1x tiger pleco
