Abstract
One type of freshwater ornamental fish that is in great demand by the public is Betta fish (Betta sp.). The problem faced by Betta fish cultivation activity is inappropriate feed, for example feed with low protein content. Low protein causes slow growth in fish. This study aims to determine the effect of different natural feeds (silk worms, blood worms, water fleas, and controls) on the growth of Betta fish. The results showed that there was a significant effect (p<0.05) on the growth and specific growth rate of betta fish. However, there was no significant effect (p>0.05) of different natural feeding on the survival rate parameter. The highest result showed in treatment B (silk worm) with a weight value of 1.09 g, a length of 4.48 cm, and specific growth rate value of 1.77 ± 1.768. It can be concluded that silk worm is the best natural feeding for betta fish.
