Re: From my Naracara sales thread ...
Ivanacara adoketa are very hardy fishes. Since you have closed your sale thread. I'll speak my mind. Hope you don't mind. From the pics you posted. The fishes don't seemed healthy. Very obvious in the apisto pictures. They have clamp fins and poor body posture. I find that these are signs of diseases after keeping them for sometime.
And you mentioned about white spots. Clearly your water is at problem. Too high in waste level due to improper water maintenance. If i had a 1K fish in my tank, especially in a cramp 1ft cube, i'll make sure it gets a proper filtration rather then relying on a small sponge filter.
Another cause could be the diseases are brought forth by other fishes that you introduced into the adoketa tank. Or that you introduced the healthy adoketa into a already diseased tank.
I would suggest you dry out the soil under the sun before reusing it again.
