Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the welfare of ornamental fish from the management perspectives of non-commercial breeders. The evaluation of the study was carried out through the application of a survey-type questionnaire, composed of thirteen questions. Among those who responded, most respondents (62.5%) keep up to 05 fish in their aquariums. With regard to animal welfare, all participants (100%) were concerned about the practice of animal husbandry. 68.75% of respondents stated that they acquired the animals without any professional guidance. We can infer that the breeding of these animals may be linked to an inadequate management practice, not providing well-being.
