Abstract :
Skin colour is one of the most significant factors
in determining the attractiveness and, thus, the
commercial value of ornamental fish. In the present study,
an attempt has been made to assess the effect of Delonix
regia (Gulmohar) on the colouration of goldfish (Carassius
auratus). Experimental fish species (Carassius auratus)
were cultured for 90 days. The experiments were carried
out in glass aquariums. The experimental diets were
prepared with Delonix regia powder as a carotenoid
source. One set of control and three sets of experimental
groups were maintained. Three different experimental
diets and one control feed were given twice a day to all the
fish.
