【 摘 要 】

 In the study, five feeds given to guppies (Poecilia reticulata) were evaluated for their effects on growth and reproductive performance of females. Feeds namely Diet I, II, III, IV and V formed flake food, blood worm, locust, rhino beetle and flour worm, respectively. Blood worm, locust, rhino beetle, flour worm were insects, and flake food was a commercial fish food. The growth and reproductive performance were investigated based on growth parameters, gonadal development and fry production. Fish fed Diet II, IV and V had a higher specific growth rate compared to the other groups. The ovary weight of guppies fed Diet II was significantly (p
