Spirulina platensis (S. platensis) is a blue-green algae, shaped like a spiral, contains high nutritional value includingproteins, vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of supplementationS. platensis in diets and to get the level of supplementation S. platensis in diets gurami fish, Osphronemus gouramy bestpromote growth, hematological, body composition and biochemical blood parameters. The fish are used to measure theaverage weight 2.52 ± 0.17 g. The treatments tested was 5 groups, replicated 3 times for each group. The dietary levels S.platensis of five treatment group were: C (control group), P1, P2, P3, P4, respectively supplementation S. platensis 0, 2, 3, 4,and 6 g/kg of diet, the trial period is 56 days.The results showed that the level difference S. platensis supplementation canincrease growth, hematological and biochemical blood parameters gurami. Best growth, body composition, hematological andbiochemical blood parameters of gurami is obtained at the level of supplementation S. platensis 6 g/kg of diet. Findings fromthis study indicate that supplementation S. platensis 6 g/kg of diet in aquaculture gurami increasing growth, bodycomposition and immunity body fish.
