Abstract :The study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary green tea extract (GTE) supplementation in diet on growth performance, feed utilization and biometric indexes in freshwater angelfish, Pterophyllum scalare . The fish (mean body weight, 2.61±0.01 g) were fed fish meal diets that included 0% (control), 2.5 and 5% GTE for 8 weeks. The results showed, the addition of green tea extract did not have a positive effect on growth performance and other variables. Addition of green tea extract did not change the amount of viscerosomatic index and hepatosomatic index.Keywords : Pterophyllum scalare, Green tea extract, Growth performance, Feed utilization, Biometric indexes
