Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is a freshwater fish that widely cultivated in Indonesia. Production cost of farming activities spend 60-70% on the use feed. Therefore, feeding must be effective and efficient so catfish can make good it for its growth. The addition an exogenous enzyme form papain increase efficiency feed utilization. purpose this study was to determine effect growth survival sangkuriang gariepinus). treatments consisted P0: control (without enzyme) P1: treatment with dose 1.5 mg kg-1 parameters observed were absolute weight growth, length efficiency, survival, water quality. results showed produced highest 19.97 g, 7.74 cm, 90.25%, rate 90%, quality such as temperature from 24.3 - 28.3 0C pH 7.2 7.4.Keywords: Catfish; Feed; Papain
