In order to explore the effects of probiotics on the water quality, growth performance, nonspecific immunity, digestion, and intestinal flora of <i>Macrobrachium rosenbergii</i> in the biofloc culture system, three groups (six replicates in each group) were set up and divided into no bacteria (control group, Con), <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> (BS), and effective microorganisms (EM) in the current experiment. After dissolution of the water, the carbon source (glucose) was evenly sprayed in the aquaculture tank to construct a biofloc with a C/N of 15. A total of 1260 giant freshwater prawn (<i>Macrobrachium rosenbergii</i>) with an initial body weight of (2.09 ± 0.03) g were randomly assigned to 18 tanks (70 per tank). BS group and EM group significantly reduced total nitrogen concentration. Both BS and EM groups significantly increased final mean body weight, weight gain, and specific growth rate, but significantly decreased feed conversion rate of <i>Macrobrachium rosenbergii</i>. BS group significantly increased plasma superoxide dismutase, lysozyme, and acid phosphatase contents, but significantly decreased plasma malonaldehyde content. EM group significantly increased serum acid phosphatase content and intestinal trypsin activity but significantly decreased the Chao and ACE index of species richness. BS group and EM group significantly decreased the abundance of Chloroflexi and Verrucomicrobiota. BS group significantly increased the abundance of <i>Bacillus</i>. Overall, adding probiotics affected water quality, <i>Macrobrachium rosenbergii</i> performance, and microbial community. The results showed that <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> is a good biofloc probiotic additive.
