Flotation potentialities of diets bound with Polymethylo-cabarmide and other local starches and Saccharomyces cerevisiae floater were investigated in the laboratory. The binders and floater were fixed at 10 and 4% respectively in isonitrogenous 30% crude protein diets for catfish and Tilapia. Flotation were significantly (P<0.05) highest (100.00 - 96.67%) in Polymethylo-cabarmide based binder. Wheat grains starch (WGS) was highest (p>O.05) among the local agents in the first 10 minutes. Cassava tuber starch (CTS) significantly (P<0.05) succeeded WGS from 15 minutes till end of immersion. The least effective was maize grain starch (MGS).
