| The study was aimed to prepare artificial diets from local ingredient to larvae and juveniles of Barbus xanthopterus, in order to examine its ability to eat dry food as a substitute to the expensive live food and study its effects on survival and growth rates. Four types of diets were processed to larvae which were: standard artificial diet as a control T1, fish meal diet T2, starter diet T4 and egg and milk mixture diet T3.
