Feeding experiments were conducted for 21 days to study the effect of live food (Tubifex sp.) and three prepared supplemental feeds on the growth and survival of 13-day old magur (C. batrachus) fry. It was observed that the growth of fry varied significantly (p< 0.05) with different diets. The best growth was shown by the fry fed with Tubifex sp. followed by those fed with the diet containing yeast (30%), milk powder (30%) and chicken eggs (30%). The poorest growth rate was given by the fry fed on yeast (45%) and fish meal (45%). There was no significant difference in survival rates and condition factors among the fry fed with live food and prepared feeds.
