Abstract: The Coreius guichenoti larvae were raised with fairy shrimp, limnodrilus and particulate feed bait feed for 60 days to study the effects of the three different feeding method on the survival rate and growth rate. It was found that the larvae fed with limnodrilus had higher survival rate, total length, body length, weight than other groups after 30 days post hatching(dph), and the specific growth rate was(4.44±0.30)%/d. The total length, body length, weight and specific growth rate were the lowest of the particulate feed group after 15dph. The results indicated that different feeding method have a significant effect on the survival and growth of the larvae. Feeding the fairy shrimp before 30 dph, feeding the limnodrilus after 30 dph can effectively improve the survival rate and growth rate.
