Wonderful to have you back, Mauro. Very nice way to get back into the hobby with those awesome wilds.
Sweet it's cool that you are back, I always admired your tank when you had it in Brazil.

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?

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.
