Abstract
In this study effects of commercial extruder diet (T1), earthworm (T2), 50 % commercial extruder diet + 50 % earthworm (T3) on growth, spawning, hatching and larval survival of angel fish (average weight 4.06 g) (Pterophyllum scalare Lictenstein, 1823) were investigated. The experimental groups were fed for 60 days. According to the results of this study, the best spawning and hatching were found in group T3 but there was no significant difference with other groups (p>0.05). Also larval survival rate in group T3 showed significant difference with group T2 (p<0.05) and higher than other groups. The best weight gain were found in commercial extruder diet (T1) as it showed significant difference with group T2 (p<0.05).
