Threats to ecology

The author has conducted a research in a biotope of one of the local swamps. The swamp that the author visited was inhabited of Channa limbata, Trichogaster sp., Anabas testudineus, Channa striata, and Trichopsis vittata. And in the swamp there are many logs, tree branches and leaves.

The swamp is overgrown with Ceratophyllum submersum and on the surface Lemna minor, Pistia stratiotes and Ipomoea aquatica. So from the results of these studies make the authors make the biotope according to the natural conditions there.
