Negative ghost-rider, Africans would make short work of a betta in no time.

I'm not very good with Cichlids as I've never had any but I believe that most species are territorial (just like Bettas). Territorial/aggressive fish do not mix well at all.

Agreed. African rift lake cichlids make extremely poor tankmates for bettas. They have entirely different water chemistry requirements, require different foods (protein heavy for the bettas while most Africans require vegetable-centric diets) and most of all because the poor betta would end up a snack (or at least a chew toy) for just about any rift lake cichlid.

The only cichlids I would keep with a betta would be South American dwarf varieties and even then only in a large, heavily planted tank.

Gohst shrimp are good tank mates. =] If you can get cherry shrimp too they're good!
