Abstract

This study was performed to determine the effect of Phallocryptus spinosa as a diet on fecundity and hatching performance of 4 trade valuable prawn ornamental fish genera, including Angel Fish (Pterophyllum scalare), Green Tailor (Aequidens rivulatus), Gourami (Trichopodus trichopterus) , and Afra (Cynotilapia afra). Prawn ornamental fish genera, were studied in two test groups feeding with cow heart and spinach – and fairy shrimp (Phallocryptus spinosa) in one treatment and two replicates for a month in controlled condition and sultable for each genera.  Also, additionally, all fish were fed granulated concentrate daily. Between group comparison in each genera showed a significant difference (pPhallocryptus spinosa can increase reproductive performance in mentioned prawn ornamental fish.
