Temperature variations significantly impact the behavior and growth of African catfish. The study observed how different temperatures affected the fish over 8 weeks. Changes in behavior were noted by watching feeding and swimming habits, while growth was measured by weight and length. Results show that temperatures between 20-27 ℃ are best for the catfish's growth and well-being. Higher temperatures above 27 ℃ lead to a decrease in growth, especially in weight.
