Abstract Aim of the present piece of work was to have a comparative analysis of the food composition and feeding habits among three Indian fresh water teleosts. The gut content of three fishes has been analyzed and are broadly classified into 8 categories i.e. crustacea, rotifer, insects, Chlorophyceae, baccillariophyceae, Myxophyceae, plant matters and decaying organic matters. It was also seen that there were considerable variations in the percentage of different food items in the gut of above fishes during different months of the year. The different food items are variable increases during the different seasons of a year among the three fresh water teleosts.
