The present study indicated that the post-hatchlings of
C. chitala successfully weaned on to live, artificial and
other non-conventional diet on an experimental scale.
However, they do show marked preference for some type
over others. Live tubifex, dry tubifex and fish eggs,
artificial and non-conventional diets, proved to be an
excellent feed for post-hatchling rearing of C. chitala in
terms of growth (Table 1). It was interesting to note that
fish eggs of M. vittatus served as excellent diet for rearing
post-hatchlings of C. chitala. The post-hatchlings fed on
fish eggs acquired an average weight of 1.99 g at the end
of the experiment and a SGR of 2.15, close to that was
observed for the post-hatchlings fed on the live tubifex
(SGR=2.4). Post-hatchlings fed on planktons; daphnia
and boiled egg-yolk had lower growth than those fed on
