Popis: The Channa limbata fish is a type of tropical freshwater fish of the Channidae family which is relatively small as an aquarium ornamental fish with a distinctive color at the tip of its dorsal fin and has a snake-like head (dwarf snakehead). Natural snakehead fishing activities have threatened its sustainability. Breeding C. limbata fish through cultivation can increase its potential for sustainable use. This study aims to evaluate the acclimation response of wild-type dwarf snakehead fish in captivity and its sexual characteristics as a basis for domestication and hatchery technology. The fish samples used were natural catches from rivers in West Java measuring 150 mm of body length then individually acclimated indoors in an aquarium (35×20×20 cm) for 14 days. Snakehead fish live in shallow, slow-flowing river waters with a temperature of 20.2-21.3°C, TDS 16-24 mg/L at neutral pH, while the rearing water temperature and TDS are higher (temperature: 24.9-27.6°C; TDS: 88-110 mg/L). The fish mortality rate during acclimation reached 25% in fish measuring >150 mm of length on tenth day, while fish measuring 150 mm kemudian diaklimasi indoor di akuarium (35×20×20 cm) selama 14 hari. Ikan gabus hidup di perairan sungai yang dangkal berarus lambat dengan suhu 20,2-21,3°C, TDS 16-24 mg/L dan pH netral, sedangkan suhu air pemeliharaan dan TDS lebih tinggi (suhu: 24,9-27,6°C; TDS: 88-110 mg/L). Angka kematian ikan selama aklimatisasi mencapai 25% pada ikan berukuran >150 mm hari ke 10, sedangkan ikan berukuran
