Therefore, the development of a cooperative-based Indonesian economy is urgently needed to help boost the economy.

This service activity aims to provide knowledge and assistance in strengthening cooperative-based community business institutions. Assistance provided in the form of cooperative training and procedures for its establishment, cooperative management, facilities for procuring ornamental fish seeds, and ornamental fish marketing galleries.
