Abstract: 
The present study on comparative study on morphological features, morphometric, and anatomical features on Herbivores (Labeo rohita) and Carnivorous (Channa striata) and these fishes were collected from integrated fish market-siddipet. Labeo rohita commonly known as rohu as well as Channa striata common name is murrel the both species belongs to fish. Labeo rohita belongs to the family cyprinide and another fish murrel belongs to channidae family. This comparative study also presence the physiological and ecological differences between the herbivorous fish Labeo rohita and the carnivorous Channa striata. Labeo rohita, a prominent species in freshwater aquaculture, primarily consumes plant material, while Channa striata, a top predator in Southeast Asian freshwater ecosystems, feeds on other fish and invertebrates. This study evaluates differences in dietary habits, digestive efficiency, growth rates, and ecological roles of these species.
