Fish growth is a function of adequate supply of feed in the right quantity and time. The effect of feeding rate on the growth of Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) was studied for a period of 22 weeks. The fish were fed at the same percentage body weight throughout the study period and a bi-weekly weight gain was measured. Water quality parameters were also monitored. There was a significant increase in weight gain in daily feeding regime than in the ones in two days feeding regime. The increase in weight for the daily feeding regime was visible as from the 8th week while that for the ones in two days feeding was only significantly different in 22nd week at 0.05 level of significance. The relationship between the two feeding regime types also revealed that the daily feeding performed better than the ones in two days feeding regime.
