Description
Summary:Lampam Jawa, Puntius gonionotus (Bleeker), fry with a mean weight of 1.08+0.22 g and mean total length of 3.71 + O.85 cm were randomly stocked and reared in glass aquaria of 32.5 litre capacity under ambient conditions and fed with a 30% protein diet to satiation. The feeding frequencies tested were 1, 2 and 3 times per day. Pish in all tanks were sampled at biweekly intervals to determine their weights. The water in the aquaria were changed every week arid some of the water quality parameters such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH and ammonia nitrogen were monitored.
