The purpose of this study was to determine the age and spawning time of red devil (Amphilophus labiatus) based on the observation of the daily increment of otolith in juvenile fish. The sampling was conducted from October 2013 to March 2014. The juveniles were collected biweekly using a hapa net and scoop net. To determine the first formation of daily increment, the brood stock of tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) was spawned in captivity. A total of five larvae was taken every day from hatching day until the 18 days old, and then the larvae were taken every two days. Sagittal otoliths were collected by putting the larva into a 5.25% NaOCl solution. The left otolith was attached to the object glass using Bucherer cement, and then dropped with Canada balsam and closed by cover glass. The numbers of daily increment were observed by using a microscope with a magnification 100-400 X. The age was determined based on the number of daily increment plus the first time of ring formation. Spawning time was determined by back calculation of the sampling time, plus age and incubation period. The result showed that there were 130 individual juveniles collected ranged from 7.0 to 14.6 mm total length (TL). The formation of daily increment on 69 sagittal otolits was observed. The first sagittal increment was formed on the third day after hatching and the forming of the increment was daily. The ages of juvenile red devil were between 9-28 days old and majority of the larvae in 17 days. Red devil spawned coincided with the new moon phase and high intensity of rainfalls.
