The homeostasis of the intestinal microbiota of fish is beneficial to fish health, while food can affect the intestinal microbiota. Tilapia (<i>Oreochromis</i> spp.) has great economic value and is a good model to use in studying the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Furthermore, at present, due to a high demand and high price of high-quality feed raw materials, the nutritional composition of aquafeeds has been changing dynamically. There has yet to be a comprehensive review of research conducted on the influences of dietary macronutrients (proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates) on the tilapia intestinal microbiota. Therefore, this review focuses on the effects of dietary macronutrients on the gut microbiota of tilapia. Interestingly, we found that the best growth performance might not represent the best composition or functions of the gut microbiota. Overall, the unscientific addition of macronutrients to feed is harmful to the intestinal microbiota. Therefore, both growth performance and gut microbiota should be considered when evaluating certain macronutrients. It is our hope that this review will aid in regulating the intestinal microbiota of fish through nutritional means, thereby promoting tilapia farming.
