This research aims to identify the average daily gain (ADG) and survival rate (SR) of silver barb fed with water hyacinth farmed at floating net cage in Cirata Reservoir. Experiment is conducted from December 2014 to February 2015 using complete random model consisting of four treatments and three repetitions. The treatments include water hyacinth feeding for 10%, 20% and 30% and artificial feeding for 3% of the fish’s weight. Fish are fed two times a day by observing the ADG, SR and water quality. The results show that water hyacinth feeding greatly influences the ADG; the 3% feeding supplies the highest ADG by 1%, while the other treatments equally contribute 0.1%. However, there is no significant difference in the average survival rate of the fish resulting in 98%.
