Fish for biotope of congo river system?

Are there any suitable fishes fora congo river biotope.
Like killies , congo tetras and kribs.
Are there any plants beside anubias for the setup.

The Congo River system is very, very, large, and consequently there are many fish species in that system.
Some colorful killies are from there. So are Congo Tetras.
Some of the most interesting West African cichlids are from the Congo Basin. For example, all of the Steatocranus species ("buffalo head" cichlids), Teleogramma Brichardi, Pelmatochromis nigrofasciatus and other Pelmatochromis species, and many others.
Also, you can choose from a great many of the "squeaker" catfishes of the genus Synodontis. Many of these are extremely attractive species. Syndontis nigriventris, the Upside-Down Catfish, is the most famous of these, although in fact numerous other Synodontis species often swim upside-down. Synodontis angelica, the Polka-Dot Catfish, is arguably one of the most beautiful catfishes in the world.
