Here we adopted gradual weaning protocol for neon tetra and similar observations were recorded in the present
study which revealed that fish weaned by day 6 (i.e. Reduction in mixed zooplankton for first 6 day and complete
formulated feed (53.3% crude protein) for remaining 24 days) showed maximum length gain (48.38%), weight gain
(239.20%) and higher SGR (4.05%) than fish fed only mixed zooplankton and only formulated feed for
experimental duration.
