Abstract
The investigation was aimed at determining the effects of different pigment sources on colour development and growth juvenile goldfish. Four pigment sources were tried: Shrimp head meal , dried drum stick leaves dried curry leaves and turmeric powder. these pigments were added to basal diet at 10 ,5,5 and 5% respectively and fed into the goldfish for five weeks. fish feed with curry leaves, drumstick leaves, turmeric powder, and shrimp head meal showed better color development than the fish feed with basal diet. Growth was stimulated by shrimp head meal and inhibited by turmeric powder.
