Produksi Ikan Neon Tetra Paracheirodon innesi Ukuran M Pada Suhu Ruang Hingga 32 °C

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the best temperature for production of neon tetra fish Paracheirodon innesi . The research consisted of four treatments i.e. 28 °C, 30 °C, 32 °C and room temperature with three replications. The Neon tetra fry was small size category, had average length of 1,16±0,06 cm and average weight of 0,05±0,01 g were produced by farmer from Cibeureum, Bogor, West Java.

Water media exchanged was 30% of total volume every two days. The results showed that temperature affected the growth and survival of the neon tetra. The highest survival rate and growth was obtained at a temperature of 28 °C, however the highest profit was obtained at room temperature
