<![CDATA[The change in color in fish is influenced by the presence of changes in the amount of pigments. The use of carrots to enhance the brightness of color in Black Photon clownfish shows promising potential, considering that clownfish cannot produce color pigments on their own. This research aims to determine the effect of adding carrot powder to the feed and find the optimal dosage of carrot powder for enhancing the color brightness of Black Photon clownfish. The study was conducted from January to February 2023 at the Balai Perikanan Budidaya Laut (BPBL) in Batam, Setokok Island, Bulang Subdistrict, Batam City, Riau Islands Province. The research method employed was an experimental design using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 6 treatments and 3 replications, namely K (control), A (5% carrot), B (10% carrot), C (15% carrot), D (20% carrot), E (25% carrot). The research results showed that the highest change in the black color's RGB index value was found in treatment E (25% powder addition), indicating a decrease in the black color's RGB index value in all treatments, and the addition of carrot powder influenced the change in the black color's RGB index value. On the other hand, the highest change in the white color's RGB index value was found in the Control (without powder addition) treatment, and the white color's RGB index value increased in all treatments, while the addition of carrot powder had a relatively less significant impact on the change in the white color's RGB index value.]]>
