Abstract

This thesis present effect on different feed to the growth of guppy fish because the growth of fish will effected by their diet of feeding. Three of different feed were carried out to know the growth by observation toward their body weight in every weeks for 110 days. A one way analysis of variance showed there is significant differences between different feed to guppy fish. The different feed of guppy fish were mosquito larva, egg yolk and cucumber. Effectiveness of the feed based on body weight of guppy fish. The one-ways ANOVA result showed was significant, F (1,45) = 422.37, p < 0.05, n=16 that give maximum body weight of guppies 0.6219 ± 0.01336 g were observed by mosquito larvae as feed. Moderate body weight of guppies 0.5096 ± 0.01405 g were given egg yolk as feed. Low body weight of guppies 0.5360 ± 0.22058 g were given cucumber as feed. Test revealed significant pairwise differences between the mean score of body weight of guppy fish of mosquito larva as the guppy feed and body weight of egg yolk as the guppy feed, p < .05. Body weight of cucumber as feed of guppy fish do not significantly differ from other two treatment, p > .05. (224). Animals alter their behavior to avoid a variety of different types of predators. Trinidadian guppies (Poecilia reticulata) have become an important system to the evolution of antipredator behavior because the populations at different in geographically by the amounts of aquatic predation. This reseach demonstrated the importance of considering multiple selection of feed when trying to understand the evolutionary history of behavioral and morphological traits of guppies. The ability of the fish to consume the food by the fish probably led to the better growth results exhibited by
given mosquito larvae.
