We bought our first tank I believe sometime in February. It was for my wife - basically a Valentines thing, if I recall. I, however, some began to take it over. A general community tank with Balas and Guppies eventually become the tank above.
Current Occupants:
3x Kenyi (1 Male, 2 Female)
1x Melanochromis auratus (Male)
4x Yellow Labs - Labidochromis caeruleus (At least 1 male, I believe)
4x Metriaclima Esterae
3x Labeotropheus trewavasae - Maleri (1 Male, 2 Female)
3x Syndontis (2 Different breeds)
1x Common Pleco
...and a few close ups!

Thanks - I have another one with larger africans using blue granite. Need to photograph and post that one, but I might wait until the tank is updated after the SA auction. Also putting together another that current has 2 pieces of aged holey rock and lots of tall, fake plants that look that are buried in DEEP substrate. This likely still won't even work with the way these sucker dig, but work a try - lol!

I like this tank, it looks very natural. Have you thought about adding some driftwood or more plants?
