Abstract
Three groups of Oreochromis mossambicus with the initial weight (W) of 0.9260.1464 g. average total length (TL) 3.800 ± 0.308 cm, standard length (SL) 2.83 ± 0.280 cm, fork length (FL) 0.93 ± 0.1542 cm and body depth (BD) 1.16 ± 0.152 cm were kept in 1.5x 2.5x 1.5 feet glass aquarium for a period of seventy five days. All the specimens were fed with an experimental diet twice a day and measured fortnightly. It was noticed that the pattern of increasing in W, TL, SL, FL, and BD were negatively correlated while variations among all the growth variables were from 38-67%. This result indicates that the pattern of increase in body profile was significantly different than that of control.
