An experiment was conducted to compare the survival rate and condition of the larval and juvenile stage of the common barbel (Barbus barbus) intensively fed with complete dry starter feeds and natural feeds up to the age of 25 days from the beginning of exogenous nutrition. The fish were fed 3 types of dry diets (recommended for initial feeding of aquarium, freshwater and sea fish) containing different levels of nutrients (proteins 48-62%, fat 7-12%) and live food (Artemia salina nauplii).
