Abstract

This research was conducted to define the optimum dietary protein level on the growth performance and nutritional parameters Green terror (Andinocara rivulatus). In this regard, 90 Green terror fish with average weight and length of 3.93±0.20 (g) and 4.73±0.26 (Cm) were used. The hypotheses were studied with three tests isocaloric ration containing 35, 40 and 45% protein each with three replications formulated with software Win feed 2.8. Along the period, the fish were biometry every 21 days to compare their growth rates at each treatment, and after 84 days Results showed that the fish fed with 45% protein level had better growth performance, PER, FCR, condition factor and survival rate specification, and they showed statistically significant differences with the other protein treatments (P<0.05).
