The comparative efficacy of three plant extracts to enhance the immune and pigmentation status of ornamental fish  Botia rostrata  (Günther, 1868) was analyzed. Juvenile fish (Wt 3.6 ± 0.5 g,  n  = 72, three replicates) were fed separate diets containing  Mucuna pruriens  seed methanol (0.25 g/kg),  Tribulus terrestris  seed ethanol (0.5 g/kg), and  Basella alba  leaves ethanol (1.0 g/kg) extracts for 1 month. Control fish were fed only the basal diet. After 1 month, liver superoxide dismutase and catalase activities decreased significantly (P &lt; 0.05) in all plant extract-fed groups compared to the control.  Mucuna  seed extract-fed fish showed a significant (P &lt; 0.05) decrease in malondialdehyde; the glutathione level decreased in  Tribulus  seed extract- and  Basella  leaves extract-fed fish compared to the control. A significant (P &lt; 0.05) increase in phagocytotic, sera lysozyme, and respiratory burst activities was noticed in plant extracts-fed fish.  Basella  leaves extract-fed fish showed a significant (P &lt; 0.05) increase in skin pigmentation pattern.  Basella  leaves ethanol extract (1.0 g/kg) appeared more potent than the other two plant extracts in enhancing the innate immunity and skin coloration of  Botia rostrata .
