Also i would appreciate any advice or link on how to setup enviroment
for africans (info about plants would also help alot). thnx.

Killifish (aphyosemion):
- small short-lived colourful minnows, mostly from the soft acidic water
conditions of various rivers, mostly carnivorous but relatively
non-aggressive community fish.

Malawian African cichlids
- mbuna: highly territorial rock dwelling cichlids from the hard alkaline
waters of African lakes (in this case Malawi ;~), mostly herbivorous,
aggressive and not community fish
- utaka: open water cichlids from same water conditions, mostly
omnivorous, grow relatively large, maybe very aggressive

Mixing these guys might bring new meaning to the name 'Killifish' and
emphasise their 'short-lived' characteristic ;~)
