RARE AND SORT AFTER.
Ivanacara adoketa. These are a very sort of fish species and not always easy to get hold of. They require a low pH environment so we would suggest using RO water to keep these little guys happy. A nice dark dark would be replicate their natural environment. A live food diet would be great. So lots of brine shrimp, worms or insects would be suited.
