  Effects of the probiotic bacteria, Pediococcus acidilactici on growth performance of the Convict Cichlid fish (Amatitlania nigrofasciata) were examined. The main aim of the research was to examine the related effects of the probiotic P. acidilactici to increase the production of ornamental fishes. 150 fries of the Convict Cichlid fish were fed for 60 day in 15 groups (1 control and 4 treatments, each with 3 replicants) with dry food containing the probiotic P. acidilactici (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 gr/kg). Biometric features (standard length and body weight) were measured every two weeks and growth and feeding indices were conducted at the end of the period. Compared with the control group, the results showed better growth performance in the treatments and the best results achieved in the group 4 with 2 mg prebiotic per kg dry feed. The recent research proposed the use of the probiotic P. acidilactici to enhance ornamental fish production in hatcheries of the convict cichlid fish. Manuscript profile

   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 Manuscript profile
