Abstract :

 Dietary effects of the symbiotic “Biomin Imbo” on growth performance of the Golden Severom Cichlid fish(Heros severus), was studied. Increasing of the fish biomass in shorter time and less prime cost were the main aims of the recent research. For 2 mounts, 150 young Severom Cichlid fish were fed with the symbiotic “Biomin Imbo” (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 g/kg in dry food), Standard length and body weight were being meseared every 2 weeks and growth indices including Body Weight Growth (BWG), Daily Growth Rate (DGR), Condition Factor (CF) and Special Growth Rate (SGR) were calculated at the end of the 2nd month. Results showed that the symbiotic “Biomin Imbo” increased the growth performance of the treatments and the best dosage of the symbiotic was 2g/kg in the Severom Cichlid fish dry food
