It can't be done right? Africans and rocks are the only way to go. Insanely beautiful fish but the aquascaping is just rock work or fake plants that leave something to be desired.
I have just converted my swamp of a 110 gallon to an African Tank. You can see the progress here:

Here is where I am so far. Realize that this is a newly set up tank. Been going about 6 weeks. The water was from the previous tank so it was all cycled, but most of the fish are small and some of the plants are too at this point. That's not to say there are no large Africans. I have 2 very large male Yellow Labs, a smaller male yellow lab and a large male Kenyii who happens to be very curious about the plants...
Here is the tank. It has 2 very large Amazon Swords. 1 Large (behind the one on the left) and 3 small ones clumped on the front tight. I have 3 Java Ferns rubber banded to some drift wood and just added some Wendtii. I will be adding more Wendtii as time goes on. Thinking some Annubias as well....
