The accumulation of organic wastes deteriorates water quality and in turn decreases the growth of fingerlings of Piaractus brachypomus in fresh water ponds. To avoid this problem a supplementation trail was conducted for 90 days to determine the effect of commercial Soil probiotic ‘Super-PS’ in the water quality maintenance and growth of Piaractus brachypomus culture in fresh water pond. Probiotic bacteria are known to improve water quality in many ways. ‘Super-PS’ contains a combination of Rhodobacter and Rhodococcus species. Fresh water pond was treated with Soil probiotic Rhodobacter and Rhodococcus species during the culture period 1 to 30 days 15 lit/ha, 31 to 60 days 30 lit/ha, 61 to 90 days 40 lit/ha, 91 days continue (depending upon the pond condition, stocking density and days of culture) till harvest. The factors responsible for the improved water quality and significant growth up to harvest Piaractus brachypomus under the influence of Soil probiotics was analyzed and discussed.
