Discus juveniles were graded Accepted: September 24, 2019 into small, medium and large size groups as block in a completely randomized block design. Five trial diets included frozen beefheart (T1), Keywords commercial feed for discus fish (T2) and three diets containing graded levels of BSF as replacements for protein from fishmeal of 0% (T3), 25% Black soldier fly larvae (T4), and 50% (T5). The results showed that TAN and nitrite levels in the beefheart treatment were higher than those in the other ones. Discus fish Moreover, discus fish in treatment 1 had a higher growth rate and a lower Formulated feed feed conversion ratio than those in the other treatments. On the other Frozen beefheart hand, no statistically significant differences among the pellet treatments Growth rate were observed for growth rates of discus's weight, length and height and feed conversion ratio (P > ). Moreover, the results showed that ∗ Corresponding author discus fish in the two BSF treatments did not suffer from diseases and .
