The Effect of Feed Protein Levels on The Growth of Kissing Gourami (Helostoma temminckii)

Kissing gourami culture has begun to be developed reduce the dependence on natural catches. Many factors that are influence fish culture. One of those is availability sufficient quantity and quality feed. Protein an important nutrient supports growth affects feed prices. The protein requirement for each needs known as a basis formulating This research aims determine optimum level kissing gourami. study used completely randomized design with five treatments three replications. treatment given different levels protein, consisting 25% (P0), 30% (P1), 35% (P2), 40% (P3), 45% (P4). result showed (P2) gave best which resulted absolute weight 0.45 g, length 0.24 cm, efficiency ratio 0.49, 17.11%.
