Abstract

The present study was conducted to investigate the optimized acclimatization process of Channa punctatus, a freshwater air breathing fish in varying laboratory conditions, using four different tanks setups – glass bottom, sand bottom, sand-soil mix and mud bottom. The study aimed to identify the optimal condition for survival and adaptability. Observation also included mortality rates, changes in pigmentation and behavioral anomalies. Results indicated that tank with mud bottom provided the best environment for acclimatization, highest survival rates and least stress indicators. These findings offered a valuable insight for laboratory studies and conservation efforts involving Channa punctatus under controlled conditions.
