Abstract :

Devario acquipinatus were collected from hill streams of Leimatak and Tuivai River (Barak Basin) of Manipur and acclimatized in the laboratory aquaria. Synthetic hormone GONOPRO-FH oral delivery with feeds at the rate of 0.5mlkg^-1successfully spawns. The species will be of model organism of the future research due to the transparent nature of eggs during its developmental periods.
