AB  - This study was carried out to determine the effects of <I>Spirulina 
  platensis</I> on the growth and survival rate in Angel fish (<I>Pterophyllum 
  scalare</I>) as a protein source in a 2 months feeding trial. <I>S. platensis</I> 
  was added to the basal diet at 0% (control), 5, 1 and 20% and fed to Angel fish 
  (<I>Pterophyllum scalare</I>). The growth of Angel fish (<I>Pterophyllum scalare</I>) 
  was related to the level of <I>S. platensis</I> containing. The final weight 
  gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio of fish were affected by spirulina 
  supplementation (p&gt;0.05). The highest Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), 1.24&plusmn;0.79 
  was found in the fishes that were cultured with 5% of <I>S. platensis</I>. The 
  survival rate was not affected by different amount of spirulina. The results 
  of the present study, clearly show that <I>S. platensis</I> could be considered 
  as a protein source for incorporation in Angel fish (<I>Pterophyllum scalare</I>) 
  diets to gain more weight.
