<p align="justify">There is a heavy metal pollution in the River Citarum. To maintain the required water quality monitoring well water quality monitoring of surface water quality and WWTP effluent in order to fulfill standards for water quality. In addition to physical and chemical, biological monitoring (biomonitoring) is one way to monitor water quality. This study aims to carry out any such monitoring process that biomonitoring at WWTP effluent. Fish used in this study is Liposarcus pardalis and plant used is Pistia stratiotes as bioindicator by looking at bioaccumulation of heavy metals in the body. The methodology used is first, doing depuration for fish and acclimatization for plants. Then the fish and plants are put into a reactor that has been designed and laid out after the industrial WWTP effluent. Fish and plants are put in parallel in the reactor. The purpose of this placement is to see the accumulation of heavy metals in fish and plants. Performed prior dilution of waste water by 50% to make fish still alive. Laboratory results showed concentrations of heavy metals in fish and plants during the study. In meat and liver Liposarcus pardalis Cu and Zn concentrations have exceeded the quality standard by POM No. Kepdirjen 0375/B/SK/VII/89 and WHO, while Pb and Cd concentrations exceeded the quality standard for the accumulation in the liver. All content of heavy metals in the roots and leaves of Pistia stratiotes accumulated and exceeded quality standards according to WHO and FAO. It takes a better treatment for Y Industrial WWTP to meet effluent quality standards before being discharged into the river.<p align="justify">
