Parameters observed improving of goldfish, weight of fish, feed consumption, survival rate and water quality (temperature, pH and DO). The result showed of the study obtained a total comparison of the differences in color of goldfish was 8.15 (T0), 24.23 (T1), 22.92 (T2) and 18.75 (T3). Weight was T0 (0,87 cm - 0,85 g), T1 (0,99 cm - 1.04 g), T2 (0,89 cm - 0,63) and T3 (0,99 cm - 0,54 g). Feed consumption was T0 (9,25), T1 (9,94), T2 (12,00) and T3 (11,77). Survival rate was T0 (93,33%), T1 (100,00%), T2 (100,00%) and T3 (100,00%). Water quality during maintenance were temperature 25.0 – 35.8 0 C, pH 6.5 – 8.9, DO 4.09 – 6.30 mg/L.
