Simple Summary: Paradise fish (Macropodus opercularis) has been a favored subject of behavioral research during the last decades of the 20th century. Lately, however, with a massively expanding genetic toolkit and a well annotated, fully sequenced genome, zebrafish (Danio rerio) became a central model of recent behavioral research. But, as the zebrafish behavioral repertoire is less complex than that of the paradise fish, the focus on zebrafish is a compromise. With the advent of novel methodologies, we think it is time to bring back paradise fish and develop it into a modern model of Citation: Rácz, A.; Adorján, G.; behavioral and evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) studies. The first step is to define the Fodor, E.; Sellyei, B.; Tolba, M.; housing and husbandry conditions that can make a paradise fish a relevant and trustworthy model.

    PRE- AND POST-SPAWNING BEHAVIOR IN THE BLUE GOURAMI, TRICHOGASTER TRICHOPTERUS (PALLAS), AND THE PARADISE FISH, MACROPODUS OPERCULARIS (LINNAEUS) By HOWARD RUSSELL HOPKINS // I Bachelor of Science The Pennsylvania State University University Park, Pennsylvania 1959 Master of Science The Pennsylvania State University University Park, Pennsylvania 1962 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY July, 1971 PRE- AND POST-SPAWNING BEHAVIOR GOURAMI, TRICHOGASTER TRICHOPTERUS ... (PALLAS), AND THE PARADISE FISH, MACROPODUS OPERCULARIS (LINNAEUS) Thesis Approved: Q LL . 803908 PREFACE The objectives of the present investigation are to: (1) Describe the motor patterns for seven presumably functional classes of behavior in Trichogaster trichopterus and Macropodus opercularis. (2) Determine the length of reproductive cycles and the characteristic diel rhythinicity of spawning activities. (J) Evaluate the influence of precipitation, barometric pressure, and water temperature on the presence of a nest and the onset of spawning. (~) Determine if activity cycles exist by measuring fluctuations in daily activity. (5) Compare the changes in the composition of behavior during the spawning cycle. Dr. Rudolph J. Miller served as major adviser and was extremely helpful during all phases of the study. Drs. Roy w. Jones, Troy Dorris, L. Herbert Bruneau, and Larry T. Brown served on the advisory committee and edited the manuscript. Donald E. Maritt suggested the method for computer analysis of the data. James Butler was instrumental in writing the computer programs and was helpful in expediting the work in the Computer Science Department. Dr. Dale D.

Small ornamental species are mostly preferable in aquarium industry. BK Mahapatra Gourami is one of the most valuable and popular in small ornamental fish world. In India presently 8 ICAR-Central Institute of indigenous Gourami species are very common and highly demanding. Ctenops nobilis is one of the Fisheries Education, Salt Lake highly demanding and important among the 8 indigenous Gourami species. It is the only known species City, Kolkata, India in its genus. The fish is mainly cold water species. The species is widely distributed but it is a naturally scarce species. As per IUCN Red list, 2010 status the species is assessed as Near Threatened for its J Maity Vidyasagar University, population declines in the wild. Very little data available of the fish resulting problems occur during Midnapore, West Bengal, India maintenance of the fish in aquarium.
