Abstract

Gravid, diseased free and active feeder of Poecilla latipinna, were kept in laboratory for obtaining juveniles. All were divided into four groups and stocked @ 40 juveniles per aquarium. The initial weights of control (0.5950.244g), Artemia treatment (AT) (0.8110.416g), mosquito larvae treatment (MLT) (0.7800.350g) and Drosophila larvae treatment (DLT) (0.7800.350g) were taken. Prior to feeding all live feeds were cultured separately and fed to experimental juveniles @ 3% of average body weight twice a day. The % mortality was found to be lest 2.1392.959 in control. % Weight gain was significantly high (44.3434.17g) in DLT followed by 36.4820.09 g in AT and MLT. The coefficient of correlation of daily feed allowance (DFA) to % weight gain was negative (- 0.095) in MLT while negative correlation of % length gain to SGR, ADG, K, and FCR were negative compared to control, MLT, and DLT. Among chemical features of experimental water ammonia is found (0.120.207 mg/l) when baby pellets were supplied as food for juveniles in control.
