Abstract: 
The adaptation of wild fish to the cultured environment is basic information in fish farming. The aim of this study was to adapt N. notopterus to box containers and aquaria. This study consisted of two experiments. Experiment 1 adapted N. notopterus to a box container with different stocking densities of 1 fish and 2 fish per box container. Experiment 2 adapted N. notopterus to an aquarium with different feeding rates of 1% and 5%. The results showed that N. notopterus successfully adapted to the controlled environment of a box container and aquarium. N. notopterus survived and grew in box containers and aquaria. The results of this study provide basic information for the cultivation of N. notopterus
