The link is now working Mauro. Great looking group with no surprises as you seem to have the knack when keeping wilds in your care.

Thank you for letting me know, Ralph. And thank you for the compliments. I am not skilled with wilds like Pat and others, but I try to do my best :)

My memory is a little foggy, wasn't it mostly leave for long periods of time and then come back and take care of fry? :D
What ever it was Mauro, I hope you find that groove again.

Pat, I was just applying the knowledge I got from generous forum members like you :)
Re: I am back!! Six new Cuipeuas from Mark/WB Sabby
They are looking great Mauro!
With your care and some settling in time you will have a beautiful group again :)

Thank you, Mark.
Fun fact: did anyone notice in the video at 56 seconds how one of the Cuipeuas tries to reach the FDBWs from the bottom of the feeding cone? :) Quite funny.
Re: I am back!! Six new Cuipeuas from Mark/WB Sabby
Wonderful to have you back, Mauro. Very nice way to get back into the hobby with those awesome wilds.
Re: I am back!! Six new Cuipeuas from Mark/WB Sabby
Sweet it's cool that you are back, I always admired your tank when you had it in Brazil.
Re: I am back!! Six new Cuipeuas from Mark/WB Sabby
Nice to see you back.

Re: I am back!! Six new Cuipeuas from Mark/WB Sabby
Thank you Paul, Chris, John and Al. Nice to be part of this gang again.
It is interesting that after almost two weeks in the tank they are still quite skittish. When the lights turn on they tend to congregate in one of the corners of the tank. I have a Marineland LED fixture that is not strong at all. Moreover, the fixture is connected to a timer that slowly increases the lighting level over a period of 15 minutes and which also gradually dims the light over 15 minutes before turning off. As a result I don't have to deal anymore with fish darting when lights come on or off. Despite all that, the Cuipeua are still quite skittish.
As usual, the key is patience, making sure you let the fish settle. But I was wondering what has been folks' experiences with Cuipeua's initial adaptation. Pat's group seemed quite happy in their new home after just a few days. Any experiences?
Re: I am back!! Six new Cuipeuas from Mark/WB Sabby
Mauro, I have dim-able LEDs and mine will go corral in the corner if it is too bright so experiencing the same as you.
