The domestication of Seluang fish (Rasbora argyrotaenia) has been carried out from the waters of the Musi river in the province of South Sumatra. The aim of determining the original domestication technique as a basic for further research on reproduction or spawning of Seluang fish in bulk and planned and restocking in public waters as an effort to preserve Seluang fish resources. The sampling location was used the Purposive Random Sampling method in 3 locations where there are usually many Seluang fish. Whereas the domestication method used the Experimental method with environmental manipulation treatment in cement tubs measuring 3 × 4 m deep 0.75 m. Fish are given natural and artificial feed for approximately 1 month (week 0 to week 4). The results showed that the domestication process of Seluang Fish (Rasbora argyrotaenia) can be done by maintenance in ponds that have been manipulated to resemble their natural habitat with artificial feed. The results showed an increase in weight of 0.0114 grams / day, an increase in length of 0.036 cm / day and survival of 79.01%.

Seluang (Rasbora argyrotaenia) is one type of fish that lives on the Musi River in South Sumatra. Seluang is favored by the people of South Sumatra to become consumption fish with economic value. Natural catches are felt to diminish over time and effort is needed for domestication and cultivation. Analysis of gastric contents has been carried out on seluang fish from the Musi river to find out fish eating habits as a cultivation platform. The research was conducted from July to September 2017 on three Musi tributaries. The Prefonderance index was analyzed according to Natarjan and Jhingran in Effendi (2002). From the results of the study it was revealed that eluang was an omnivorous group of fish seen from the value of the Prefonderance Index, which consumed green plants (48.05%) as the main food, Arthropoda (23.86%) and Anellida (22.35%) as supplementary foods.

Silver Rasbora fish (Rasbora argyrotaenia) has yellowish fins with shiny scales, wide mouth and protruding forwards with a maximum length of about 170 mm. Its habitat is found mostly in the rivers of Sumatra Island and lives in groups. Silver Rasbora is an omnivorous group, both from phytoplankton and zooplankton. The purpose of this study was to know the eating habits of Silver Rasbora fish in the Musi River through observing the diversity of feed in their stomach. The study was conducted in July - September 2017 in three locations (Mariana Village, Kenten Laut Village and Pulo Kerto Village). The method used is the method of description and method of determining the location carried out by purposive random sampling. The results showed that the percentage of feed type based on its class, the highest percentage was in the Chlorophyceae class with an average of 50.38% and Bacillariophyceae class with a percentage of 37.02%, while the Cyanophiceae class percentage was 11.33%.
