A preliminary study was conducted on the feeding schedule of laboratory reared larvae of O. vittatus. The feeding schedule consisted (1) Artemia nauplii from 10 to 15 days, Moina sp from 15 to 20 days, Tubifex worms from 20 to 40 days, (2) Artemia nauplii from 10 to 20 days, Moina sp from 20 to 25 days, Tubifex worms from 25 to 40 days, (3) Artemia nauplii from 10 to 25 days, Moina sp from 25 to 30 days, Tubifex worms from 30 to 40 days, (4) Artemia nauplii from 10 to 30 days, Moina sp from 30 to 35 days, Tubifex worms from 35 to 40 days. The feeding schedules were significant differences on growth performance of O.vittatus larvae and the were no significant differences on survival rate. The results indicated that feeding schedule Artemia nauplii from 10 to 15 days, Moina sp from 15 to 20 days, Tubifex worms from 20 to 40 days showed better growth performance in terms of the parameters measured.
