Presently, the kruep fish supply are mostly from wild, this is because culture system has not well developed. The climbing perch has thick flesh, delicate and tastes savory so favored by the local people, and therefore this fish has potency as a fish target for aquaculture (Muchlisin 2013). This species commonly occurres in Aceh waters, Indonesia (Muchlisin & Siti-Azizah 2009 Muchlisin et al 2015). Climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) or locally known as kruep fish are living in freshwater, they can live in waters with low oxygen levels because they have an additional respiratory organ called labyrinth (Hughes et al 1986). Hence, it is concluded that the best enrichment material of Daphnia for climbing perch larvae is soybean meal. The highest growth performance was found at fish fed with Daphnia enhanced by soybean meals. The Annova test showed that the treatment gave a significant effect on specific growth rate, weight and length gains (p 0.05). The completely randomized design was used, this study was conducted with three enhancer materials chicken manure, coconut dregs and soybean meals. The study was conducted at Laboratory of Marine and Fishery Faculty, Syiah Kuala University, Indonesia in July 2015. The objective of the present study was to determine the best material for enhancing nutritional value of Daphnia fed to climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) larvae.
