This study aims to reduce the concentration of ammonia in the silver barb culture in recirculation system by adding a mechanical filter. This research was conducted on January to February 2014 at hatchery of Freshwater Aquaculture Production Development Centre (BPPBAT) Singaparna, Tasikmalaya Regency, West Java, Indonesia. The study was designed experimentally with two treatments i.e. treatment without filter and filtering treatment. The experiment was carried out for 24 days and observed every two days. The results showed that the addition of filter can reduce total ammonia up to 92.82%, unionized ammonia up to 89.12% and it is able to increase dissolved oxygen up to 54.23% and silver barb survival rate equal to 99.87%.
