Hi,
i´m a bit late. Large cichlids (and your Aequidens are big ones) can always try to eat smaller fishes, they are still predators. But i go with Karsten, based on their experience (and i guess corydoras and brochis can do harm to other fishes, they are well protected) they will change behaviour for the next time ;-)
Btw, i love your tank setup! It has a lot of atmosphere and the light in front of the tank together with the dark background gives an effect of great depth.
With that setting there is no need for more background work :-)
Did you use led-spots for lighting?
Ben
