Abstract
This study was carried out to find the effects of water-soluble vitamin C and fat-soluble vitamin E on the growth of both guppies, Poecilia reticulata (Peters, 1860), a kind of live-bearing species. The control feed did not contain vitamins C and E, while the other 15 experimental feeds were prepared by changing the amount of starch, without altering the chemical structure, and adding vitamin C (100, 500, 1000 mg/kg) and vitamin E (75, 150, 300 mg/kg) in various levels. At the end of the trial had an ascending amount of both vitamin C and E in the diet and resulted with an increase in the developmental parameters in the offspring of guppies (p<0.05). In addition after a three month trial the group 16 of guppies had reached maturity, and juvenile. According to the results of this study, there is an increase in growth and survival of fry as the amount of vitamin C and E added in feed increases.
