Congratulations and welcome back. I remember reading your threads from the journey to the US. Are you still in New Orleans?
Hi Everyone,
And you thought you got rid of me I am excited to report that I am back to the hobby. For those that are not familiar with my previous history with discus, here is a quick recap from previous threads:
- In the beginning of 2011 I got 7 Cuipeua discus from WB Sabby when I was living in Brazil. One year and half later I was able to fulfill my dream of breeding Cuipeuas. I got two pairs and raised a batch of juvies from one of them:

- When I moved from Rio de Janeiro to New Orleans in 2013, I sold all Cuipeuas and kept one pair. A crazy adventure took place, when I was able to bring the pair to the US with the help of Yamamoto (WB Sabby), Mark (Discus Origins) and Pat (Second Hand Pat). Unfortunately, the pair ended up perishing and I decided to give up discus-keeping for a while:

Well, the decision to quit did not last long. I got a 75g tank and decided to get 6 Cuipeuas from Mark's last shipment from WB Sabby. The fish have been in the tank for 11 days and they are still quite skittish, gathering in one of the corners for most of the time. So I had to use Al's FDBWs to lure them into action for a video
I also took a few pictures of the Cuipeuas:
And also of the 7 Corydoras CW012 that I got from Mark:
I am VERY impressed by the quality of the fish. Some of them are already showing amazing colors. It feels great to be back in the hobby with such nice beginning. I am broke but I am happy It all your fault!

your fish are beautiful. I got some of John's large green tefes this year. what are you using for substrate?? it looks like fairly large grain size and I like it. welcome back to the hobby I am sure it was never too far from your brain.
