This study aims to determine the effect of feeding different doses of mosquito larvae on the growth of Black Molly fish (Poecilia sp.). This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) experimental method with four treatments, namely P1 (6%), P2 (8%), P3 (10% natural feed dose for mosquito larvae), and P4 (Control, using Pellets). Each treatment was repeated three times. The container used is an aquarium measuring 40 cm long, 30 cm wide, and 30 cm high with a water level of 30 cm. The stocking density of Black Molly fish seeds in each treatment was 10 individuals. The observed data was analyzed for its diversity using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results obtained indicate that feeding mosquito larvae has a significant effect on growth. Further tests using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) indicated that the 10% dose showed the highest weight growth with an average growth of 0.0071 g/day. Meanwhile, the survival rate of Black Molly fish fry in all treatments was still in the good category (more than 50%).
