Quality feed with the right nutrient content can accelerate the process of fish growth so that the need for a very large feed operating costs between 60-70% can be anticipated. This study aims to determine the effect of commercial, natural and artificial feed on the absolute growth of weight and survival rate of Sangkuriang catfish (Clarias gariepinus var). The study was conducted for 49 days with 20 catfish seedlings in 12 containers of 40 x 20 cm jars with 4 liters of water volume capacity. Experimental design with 4 treatments and 3 repetitions times Hi-Pro-Vite 788 feed, silkworm (Tubifex sp.), tempe and tofu dregs. Measurement of seed weight every seven days and also measured water quality parameters. The results showed that the average growth of absolute seed weight of sangkuriang catfish with feeding of silkworm has the highest value of 4.54 grams and the lowest tempe feed is 3.84 grams. While the highest survival rate (SR) of catfish seed in silkworm feed was 93.3% and tempe feed was 75%. The results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the feed treatment of Hi-Pro-Vite 788, the silkworm, tempe and tofu dregs significantly influence the growth of absolute weight and survival rate (SR) of Sangkuriang catfish seeds.
