This study investigated the effects of sudden weaning of angel fish larvae (Pteraphylum scalari) from Artemia nauplii to commercial larval feed. Four days post hatch (DPH) larvae were reared in four different weaning protocols (TR1-TR4) with triplicates in a complete randomize design. Larvae in TR1 and TR4 were exclusively fed Artemia nauplii and dry feed respectively. In TR2 and TR3, larvae we...

Abstract Artemia is a type of brine shrimp that can provide good nutrients and well digested fish larva with high potential live feed. Therefore, readily contained in capsulated cysts have been preserved for long period time. In the industrial, however, there lack knowledge technique regarding handling suitable life feed as first larvae. The study to observe growth survival rate Angelfish larva...

It is well established that reproduction is sensitive to the state of energy reserves, and that there is a balance between energy homeostasis and fertility. In this view, this study examined the effects of different diets on growth and reproductive performance of fresh water angelfish. Twenty four pairs of angelfish (weighing 3.58 ± 0.24 g) were fed with four types of diets including live earth...

The freshwater angelfish, Pterophyllum scalare like many other cichlids show parental care of embryos and larvae. This study was carried out to investigate the embryonic development P. scalare, which shows biparental substrate brooding. During adult reproductive behavior observed. Once eggs were fertilized upon spawning, early later stages observed, documented various embryo length measurements...
