This study a ninety days of culture experiment was conducted to determine the effects on the growth performance of nile tilapia fingerling using black soldier fly-based and fishmeal-based feeds. One hundred fifty (150) nile tilapia fingerlings were randomly allotted into two (2) dietary treatments, I fed with black soldier fly-based feed while treatment II was fed with fishmeal-based feed. Each treatment was replicated thrice with twenty five fingerling. The variable, such as weight, length and survival rate were collected from the initial and to every ten days of sampling. The result showed that treatment II which nile tilapia fingerling fed with fishmeal-based feed got the higher weight and length increment than in treatment I which was fed black soldier fly-based feed respectively. Treatment I and II also got the better result in terms of survival rate and feed conversion ratio (FCR). The growth performance comprised of weight gain, length gain and survival rate assessed no significant effect between the two diets.
