This study investigates the impact of feeding frequency on the growth performance and survival of juvenile Amblyceps apangi during a 90-day feeding trial. Physico-chemical parameters in the rearing tank, including air and water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen levels, FCO2, and alkalinity, were closely monitored and maintained within specific ranges. The juveniles, acclimatized under captive conditions, were fed commercially available tubifex, and their growth performance metrics (average daily weight gain, specific growth rate, percent weight gain) and survival rate were evaluated. Results revealed that the feeding frequency significantly influenced weight gain, with the highest observed in the group fed three times per day (T1, 61.22%) and the lowest in the group fed once a day (T3, 33.33%). Moreover, T1 exhibited the highest average daily weight gain and length. Specific growth rate was also significantly greater in T1. Importantly, all treatments fed with Tubifex achieved a 100% survival rate. These findings suggest that increased feeding frequency positively correlates with improved growth performance and survival of juvenile A. apangi during the experimental period
