Meanwhile, to determine the percentage of the largest amount of food in the stomach of the fish used the IP (Index of Preponderance) method. The results of the analysis of the growth pattern of snakehead fish are allometric positive (b = 3.059).Meanwhile, the analysis of feeding habits shows that snakehead fish are classified as carnivore fish with the main food being fish (IP 75.28%), insects (IP 20.64%) and plants (IP 4.07%).
