Furthermore, every month, the growth pattern of Trichogaster sp. shows a different way. In April, the growth pattern is Positive Allometric (3,13216); meanwhile, in May and June, the growth pattern is Negative Allometric value approximately 2,73986 – 2,33476). The average condition factor value during the research in April ranged from 0.5790 – 0.8767; in May, the average value was 0.5380 – 1.4482, and in June, the average value was 0.6932 – 1.4896.
